~*~ We all have moments in our lives that we wish could go on forever, ~ a special snapshot for one's album of life. Memories that we record for safe-keeping in both our minds and our hearts. This, for me, is such a moment. It is a beautiful spring afternoon and I have just made my way down to the picturesque lake that lies beyond our property's edge. I am sitting by the shore while I await the arrival of my family for a special Easter celebration. My home is full of inviting aromas from the dishes that I have lovingly prepared for my loved ones. I am taking this time for myself for some quiet reflection. The lake sparkles like diamonds as the sun reflects its radiant light upon the calm water. The air is fresh and carries the intermingling scents of damp earth and newborn grass. I inhale deeply, breathing in the vitality of the springtime air. Life is burgeoning all around me ~ Crocuses provide a colorful display with their crowns of purples, whites, and golds. Buds give way to delicate new leaves as they slowly unfurl into delicate shades of green. As life struggles to emerge into the light of April sunshine, I find myself being revitalized by the energy of rebirth that surrounds me. An inner peace is pervading my soul as I take in the beauty of this glorious day. I feel so alive, so happy--and so blessed. I thank You, God! Happy Easter! ~*~ [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (04-20-2003 05:09 PM).] |
