Today was a bit of a day… I was in a tussle with The-Government-Department-Which-Shall-Not-Be-Named for most of the day, and it still hasn’t been resolved.
It’s been a lovely sunny day, though – hasn’t it?
Just before lunch I decided to go for a walk. I walk through the nearby cemetery, which tends to concentrate my thoughts anyway… on this walk, I noticed several things. I was contemplating the problems of money, or the lack of it, as I was walking along the road. I looked down, and there was a five cent piece at my feet.
No, it’s not going to pay off the mortgage. It’s a reminder, though, that I’m blessed and provided for.
I turned in to the cemetery and noticed a tiny spider web in the grass at my feet.
You might not be able to see that very well – the slightly foggy looking bit in the middle is a fine gossamer web, the only one left at that time of the morning. I walked through here earlier in the morning a couple of days ago. There were hundreds of these in the grass, sparkling with dew. They didn’t last. I saw this one and thought of perseverance.
Lives change suddenly, in big ways or in small. Mine is taking a bit of a detour at the moment – not in a massive way – just requiring a shift in thought and action. My third sight for the day was the bright yellow dandelions dotted through the grass. I suppose if you have a lawn to care for, you have a different view of dandelions… I love them. They’re tiny, but they pop up all over, regardless of the surroundings, turning their shining faces to the sun.
They even seem to glow!
…and this was one of the songs I was listening to. 🙂
