These are two shots I took over the past two days.
The shot on the left is the first produce that’s come from our garden this year! I was thinning the radishes and some were big enough to eat! What joy this brings me, to grow our own food!
The photo on the right is from a fun day I spent out at Lori Bowden’s. She lives way out in the middle of paradise and she invited a bunch of our photography group out, fed us well and allowed us to take photos all around the property. We had a hilarious time, lots of laughs as usual. At one point, this storm was rolling in on the horizon and it looked like our fun might be cut short. But we carried on with our shenanigans and before long I noticed that
it had passed right by without a drop.
Thought for the Day
Sometimes in life, storms begin to brew on the outskirts of things. Sometimes they are not our storm, but one we see gathering in the distance. We can get so focused on the storm that pretty soon it becomes our battle too. We fight something we were not meant to fight. It festers and becomes something bigger than it was intended to be and we wonder how we got under it in the first place. Or we can turn the other way, face the sun and be so captivated by the joy of the moment before us, that we let the storm brew on without us. When we do that, we allow it to pass by without ever taking an ounce of our joy.
Choose carefully the storms you decide to stand under.
