Week 2 - Journey of the 5 senses

I am learning to enjoy the little things in life.

 To slow down and actually take a breath and see the world around me. 

Today, after doing some school work and going to the office to catch-up on last weeks file as well as prep for the coming week, I decided to enjoy lunch on the porch.

 As I sat, gently swing in the swing, I could hear the thunder in the distance. 

The really nice thing about living on the lake, is you can see the storms coming. 

We are in a cove called Taw Caw Creek. We are about 20 minutes by boat, off the main body of 

Lake Marion. 

As I enjoyed my lunch, I was reminded of our intro to this week.

 Dr. D. challenged us to use our five senses...this seemed like a wonderful time for that assignment.

 Hearing not only the thunder but the wind and the children playing, I watched as the geese flew overhead. I could see small waves on the lake and the leaves dancing in the trees. The smell of rain mixed with the scent of pine. I could actually feel the temperature dropping from the mid 90s to a cool 80. Yes, it was much cooler. The breeze off the lake added a crispness to the air much like a September day.

 I promise you that my lunch was much tastier because of the coming storm!!

My spirit is lighter and my mood is calmer. 

This was a wonderful way to take a break!

I plan to take this journey often!!!
