A light walk with my heart

Our daily walk the other day really had me thinking. Deeply thinking.

I love how nature speaks to me the most. 

I find inspiration and fascination, thankfulness and pure love when out in nature.  

There we were on the 3 mile of our walk and only half way done.

The wind was blowing blowing ever so slightly.

The crispness hitting our skin  and blowing in our hair .

Soaking in  each view of the wonderful scenery that surrounded us. 

Scoping out animals and bugs so I can teach the girls more words.

Then my mind started to wander...

I thought about how I shouldn't stay out to late. I didn't want to get stuck out at night

with no light to guide the way.

Light. 

Then I wondered  if my own heart was light

light-hearted.

When people see me, meet me, get to know me

is my heart light for all of them?

I read this quote recently that said

"If you think good thoughts. Light will shine from your heart"

I love this quote. 

Something as deep and personal as my own thoughts need work

In my mind I can think what ever, pretend to answer people however

I can over-think, criticize and  badger.

I can imagine and pretend and daydream.

I can be  and think whatever I want because no one can criticize or hate me in my own thought

unless from my own self-hatred.

My thoughts have always been mine.

but now I wonder

My thoughts reflect who  I am and who I was and  am going to be.

My thoughts whether good or bad do pour out of me 

No matter how hard I try to hide them

If I am having a bad day

My husband knows. He says its obvious, even if I haven't said a word.

My thoughts pour from me

I can not hide them, well

enough

Should I abandon unhappy thoughts and sorrow when it comes?

I am not a dweller, but some days are better than others

If I wake with only happy thoughts to dwell on 

Will they carry to my heart?

So, today I woke with a light heart. 

I saw the dawn of a new day.

The baby was crying in her crib

I jolted awake and realized that it was  time to awake

and I created a smile.

I entered each child's room with a glorious attitude .

"Good Morning my sweet darlings! How did my girls sleep?

Are you two ready to face  this beautiful day?" 

I am  ready to take on this day with a light

heart. 

Love in my soul for everyone to see.

Ready to take on this crazy, stressful, busy 

but full of opportunity and people who need love

World.
