Finding my Serenity

Every day its the same, rise at 5 - shower, pack lunches, ready backpacks and briefcases, feed dogs, kids (squirrels and rats) make coffee, clean up last nights remnants (if I didn't do it the night before) and then out the door to another hectic day of classes, appointments, proposals, phone calls meetings, housework errands, laundry, picking up kids from school to do homework (theirs and mine) and dinner preparation for the next day - time with hubby (if I'm lucky) then to bed in the wee morning hours to get ready for it to start all over again.  It's easy to lose sight of the beauty around us when we race through the day. I took this picture between appointments once day.  It had just rained and the air was misty and damp.  Everything was fresh and clean - I had to walk through wet grass and mud to get this shot - but the picture was worth it! Every time I see it I remember  to stop and appreciate the beauty around me.  It's not just about the tasks I do every day - it's about living - enjoying life and having a thankful heart!
