The trickles of life

As the trees are all topped with a dusting of snow the elements of last summer are still fresh on my mind. The morning scent of fresh flowers can still be detected and that sets the pace and desire of seeing the sunlight spread its rays across the land bringing warmth to all. Farmers and ranchers working their crop and cattle. The home mother preparing the big picnic for this upcoming weekend. The kids are outside using their imagination to occupy their time. At the present time it may seem a little boring to them however once they become adults of the world they will look back at those carefree summer days as a gift. There is so much in life to be felt, experienced, learned and friendships to be made. The deadends in life are few if you work at it. As we get older we look back at all we've experienced in life from a different point of view and even now in those fond memories we can still learn things. Humility and gratefulness needs to always be present and seems to be in greater supply in our senior years. For everything we've lost we've gained something in its place sometimes it takes a while to realize what it is. We need to be receptive in life of all things for it is an adventure that is not the same for everyone and it's not one size fits all. No matter what age the ability to grow is so very important for the history of man because when we grow life grows for the planet and for others.
