For my birthday all I really wanted was my husband to be home and a walk in the woods.
And that is what I got.
Being in the woods always makes everything else go away.
When things press in around me the woods push them back.
I always thought church should be outside instead of in a stuffy building.
I guess rain and other bad weather might discourage people from coming though…
Ha.
I would rather sit all day and read then be productive.
Or walk through the woods instead of driving…anywhere.
I am lazy basically.
So when I hear of a new challenge in front of me, I am not one of those people that rushes to meet it (do those people even exist?).
Instead I want to curl up in a ball until it goes away.
My little pep talk I am giving myself?
“I can do hard things.”
And now you know. I am just a recovering wimp trying to pull my weight.
But wishing I was eating eating chocolates while reading a book…
I have a lot of other things I should be blogging about.
I am way behind in our curriculum posts.
But I looked out my window this morning and saw the beautiful sun rising over the new snow.
All I could think was that line in Robert Frost’s Poem “Nothing gold can stay.”
So I went for a walk around our yard, trying to capture the magic that was happening before me.
This above image is the one I pictured in my head before I went out.
I knew I wanted to use my 50mm 1:1.4, just for this image.
I am glad I was able to find it!
The birds were serenading me the whole time.
Beautiful.
I followed the sun.
What an amazing way to wake up.
Following the sunlight through the snow.
I decided I wanted to add something to my non-existent bucket list.
Watch the sun rise and set every day for a month.
“So dawn goes down to day./ Nothing gold can stay.”
