Being outside, nature at my feet always gives me a sense of overall wellbeing. One of the reasons that I love #WednesdayWalk by @Tattoodjay. It promotes a healthier lifestyle and fosters that natural connection to living things.
Breathe. Breathe again. Can you feel that sense of peace?
I decided to walk it from my neighborhood. The rain had lifted, but, there was still the remnants of her swift fury. Water pouring from places that were not natural to the landscape, looking for a place to call home.
There are all sorts of new color popping up everywhere. The grass has been allowed to grow wild and free while the flowers put out their blooms. Eventually, they will manicure it to a more tame look. I kind of like it a little on the wild side. But, that is just me. The difference between the State Park looks and the Estate look. Which do you prefer?

It's always the little things that catch my eye or grab my attention. The shape of a leaf, the magic of a rainbow, the way your voice sounds when you are excited about life. Small, tiny little catches in the fabric of life.
Waking around the pond isn't very far, but, it will give me a mile. Enough to take in the beauty of the day and short enough to fit in my busy morning. I look around me and the artistry of the scene washes over me, to have this view every single day, I know that I am blessed. It's not so much the neighborhood, but, the feeling I get as I am walking through life. The view. My view. And I love how it makes me feel.
What does your view look like?
Today is #WednesdayYellow #ColorChallenge by @Kalemandra, who colors my world every single day. This flower is dedicated to her.
Take a peek inside of my mailbox. The swallow has come back this year and was not amused that took possession of her house. So they build another and I just didn't have the heart to take it down. No sooner had she added the fluff, but, then she added a few eggs.
Every time I go to check my mail, she eyeballs me with those beady little swallow eyes. I try not to stare or meet her eyes. Hey! I ain't afraid of no bird!!! Maybe.
Let the sun shine in on your life So the joy may touch your soul

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.
they set my aunts house on fire i cried the way women on tv do folding at the middle like a five pound note. i called the boy who use to love me tried to ‘okay’ my voice i said hello he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
i’ve been praying, and these are what my prayers look like; dear god i come from two countries one is thirsty the other is on fire both need water.
later that night i held an atlas in my lap ran my fingers across the whole world and whispered, "where does it hurt?" it answered,
"everywhere" "everywhere" "everywhere"
