The sky was cloudy and when we were ready to leave, it started to drip. Not enough to make you wet, but enough to keep some "tears" on your jacket. To play safe, Esther decided to come back and fetch for an umbrella just in case (which proven her decision is correct again).
Morning air is always fresh! It's (one of those things that) money cannot buy. Being out in the open air is such a wonderful feeling, though a lot of people may not recognize. I do understand ... you mind are occupied by something more important, e.g. the next appointment, an important left-over issue from yesterday, a deadline to meet, etc. For me, I have nothing more important than my Here & Now, I have nowhere to rush to (and keep in mind that no way I can rush myself due to the immobility). At this very moment, all I need to enjoy is the being with myself, with Esther, with the air, the trees, the flowers, the rain, etc. Being what I am being!
This is the pine tree in front of our house. The photo is taken this morning! Very fresh ... Hahahah! Six years ago, it was at a height of about 1.5 meters, and today, it's more than 2.0 meters tall. As you can see, the light green is outgrowing the darker green pines, while there are still buds coming out from the tips. This is really the force of life, especially in spring time. New is replacing old and this shall continue endlessly. No matter where you look, you can see a lot of life forces prospering and surrounding you!
I am so glad I have the chance to see various creatures of God growing so strongly this morning. Each day when I open my eyes, the first thing I do is thanking God for giving me another day to live! (*Please note I have this habit long before my encounter with cancer.) Everyday is an enjoyable day! Thank you!
