As I write today, we have gone from two months of drought and worries about brush fires to a season of drenching rains and worries of flooding. Florida never fails to keep us on our toes.
But isn’t that indicative of life? Each day we experience good and bad things. Whether it be political, medical, or incredible, we can still choose to thrive.
I still see all the beauty of nature from my home here in the Lakes. I am still content to be living in this paradise. I enjoy the herons stalking around the canal, as well as the alligators sunning themselves and then slithering into the water to begin a new hunt.
It is never too dark and never too bright, as the sun and rain bring life.
I, also, enjoy the sun and the sunset.
I am grateful for the warmth of the climate as well as my welcoming neighbors. People still wave when you pass them on the street here in the Lakes.
I choose joy, while I sit and remain grateful here on my lanai.
