I have been waiting to publish this
blog, seeking a moment where the words lifted
off the keypad and didn't feel forced. Today, was the right time to begin.
I was in the middle of cleaning, and I dislike housework but it’s necessary especially when you live in a travel trailer. Let me tell you, a simple lifestyle is not always what it’s cracked up to be.
We didn't always live this way but when the nest emptied, we decided it was time to sell everything and move on.
We knew this lifestyle would be temporary
but for how long we didn't question. When 2020 hit, we kept with it for a while and that was a good decision.
We’re at a point now where it might be time to settle and get back to the land. With the blink of an eye, one might think this would be an easy task.
We took the month of March to find a place and found
several, but mishaps put us back in a holding pattern.
A friend reminded me that things happen for a reason. I pondered that for several weeks because so many other good things were unfolding right in front of us.
We decided to stop looking for a while and just enjoy our surroundings.
So, one afternoon, Robert said we needed a change of pace; he took me canoeing. It was the most fun I’ve
had in a really long time.
We floated between the trees relaxing, laughing and sharing conversation. My camera is always handy, so I captured some neat photos along the way.
We were on Caddo Lake, a mystical experience with unbelievable natural beauty. I thought, this could become my favorite place to rejuvenate.
In that moment of floating nothing else mattered, including how we’ve
been living or where we would end up.
I had just witnessed encouragement with an awareness to always “see the good” because it does exist.
There is good in simplicity, like an action of light and where there is light you
will always see miles of goodness. Let's begin!
Encouraging goodness,
