"Don't wish me happiness I don't expect to be happy all the time....It's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Island time

We wondered along the beach. It was as if we had become part of the landscape like the seagulls. There was no plan to go to any particular destination and no hurry to be anywhere. Living in the present brings contentment. Storms have come and gone and there will be more but today the sun is shining and that brings unexpected joy. Sea ducks were swimming on a crystal specked sea and peace for me is accepting where everything is and letting go of expectations. Blessings.

  1. Sounds lovely, Ronda. I struggle to live in the present, but really, really try every day...does that count? ;)

  2. Kim, there is something that happens along the way where this is taken away from us in the process of 'maturing' in our western culture. I say that because my four year old is very good at living in the present. I am taking some lessons from her. The only clock in the cabin quit working several weeks ago - I haven't replaced it and I do keep my cell phone turned off during the day. It has been interesting......

  4. Such beautiful nature. I am sure it brings you serenity and peace. The world is a crazy place and becoming every day worse. To have a quiet place where one can became more intimate with nature is really a blessing!

  5. How nice to live without the clock, or even the cell phone! A nice leisurely paced day where the sun and moon dictate the time, not a screen or a clock! And your picture is lovely, showcasing precious moments that you and your daughter are spending together! Blessings to you today dear friend!
