AWARE

 I am on high alert! AWARE it is spring time, quite early for us in the mountains, but very welcomed indeed!

 Aware that I am blessed enough to have these views every single day.  (this is Grandfather Mountain in the High Country of NC - around Boone/Linville) If I need to see majesty, it is merely outside the walls of my house.  This is actually the reason we chose to live up here.  Glory!

I am aware that others are aware --- like Meghan, who lives down the hill from Janine and Mark. 

 I aware that there are secrets amongst friends, and healthy mischief that makes the world a better place.

 

 I am aware of adoration, Meghan adores Axel, and he adores her in turn (animals are much better at raw emotion that we are).  They have been best friends for years.  Axel resides with Janine and Mark.

 And I am aware of how important big brothers/sisters and mentors are to the up and coming.  Axel has a new sister, Maya, who keeps him very busy and has rekindled some youth in the old man!  I LOVE the energy of the young and find myself doing my best to tap in to it as often as possible, don't you?

I am aware of how every single blossom is in its very own phase of blooming ... just like people are!  And how beautiful each and every color is.  (That also applies to people).

I am aware how things that used to be normal (like a handmade iron railing in the back of Mr.'s pickup truck) can transition into being the abnormal.  And how very familiar and comfortable it is to see it again.  Not to mention how incredibly beautiful the blue sky is!  What a GLORIOUS day to be aware.

I am aware that in less than a month my Mr. will be riding this vintage Vespa, 1967 Allstate, from Savannah, GA to San Diego, CA on what I like to think of as his middle life adventure! Although I am excited to pieces for him, I will miss his physical presence in my little part of the world greatly.

Blessings to you on this Wednesday!  What things feed into your being aware?
