This is a blog about yesterday mostly but a bit of it carried over to today.
So yesterday I am scheduled to close but got up at eight am to go walking. I'm sticking to my four miles and still trying to keep them under twenty minutes. I am listening to my eighties pop and in the middle of my third lap and stopped I don't know how I saw them, I caught them out of the corner of my eye. Four beautiful does sitting in a semi circle, perfectly camouflaged against the mesquite trees. They were all sitting there like it was a bunch of women having coffee in the morning. I couldn't help but stand and stare at the beautiful sight admiring Gods work. You can only see two of them because of the way they were arranged.
Soon after I got this picture a lady with a Chihuahua that was a little to loud scared them off. I knew standing there for that twenty minutes was going to cramp up my legs but it was worth it.
I continued my walk but as I was moving I started thinking, I have always wondered if their was something wrong with me for being who I am. Something broken in my head maybe a test I failed, but maybe not. Maybe I was supposed to be this way maybe this has always been. The path I was meant to follow maybe my struggle is supposed to teach me or someone else something. The thing is I'm not broken I'm not a freak I'm not an abomination, I'm me. And me is ok to be this way. I have a long way to go on my journey I've barely taken my first steps but I'm on my way slow and steady.
These feelings have buoyed me up for the day and followed into today. I look forward to walking now just on the chance that I can see more of these sights. I will post more pictures as I take them, unless someone tells me to stop. Happy smiles, Jenn.

yeppers. Its okay to be you. In fact its fantastic.
Who else can you be?
Irrespective of gender or name or occupation, you can only ever be you - enjoy it, it's probably the only shot you get.
As for the fauna, I love seeing truly wild animals and birds when I'm out and about, and because I look for them, I tend to see more of them than most people.
I'm really pleased life is looking up for you.

there is one behind the tree partial visible.
And what prey tell is a young lady doing out walking anywhere but to school in her uniform doing taking pictures?
Taps foot waiting for explanation.
Such a tranquil scene
shows God's handiwork in Nature. Too bad that Chihuahua scared them.
May Your Light Forever Shine
A reward for
Being in the moment and nowhere else.
About a week ago I had to walk to my children's school and having left with enough time I encountered a Muskrat staring at me through a fence protecting a wetland. Steady we looked at each other until there was a scree from a pair of Bald Eagles passing by. I jumped and in just a split second the little furry being was under water safe and hiding. I love just being present then things like this happen more often.

With those with open eyes the world reads like a book
Four does? I can't see all of their eyes
And what do you call a deer with no eyes? 'Cause I have...
No Ideer.

Sighs are the natural language of the heart.
