I woke up this morning to the sound of steady rain on the roof and was disappointed because I had plans to tackle some outside chores I’d been putting off. I pulled out my untrusty laptop and started scrolling through the news, all the while hoping the rain would end so I could get out there. Well, the rain kept on and on, and it was making me feel anxious. At length, I found myself getting dressed and heading out the door; I did all the chores in the rain, and it was–wonderful!
another day breaks
and what will we do?
our desires are many;
our resources, few.
perhaps if we can
stop desiring to bend
the ways of the world
to our personal end,
we’d find ourselves free
to be satisfied
just being alive
and along for the ride.

There is so much truth in your writing here. Most, if not all, if not all of the time if I go out of the “box” I find I have the best times. I think that is better living for more diverse situations in life. 😊

Yes, I’m glad you find that to be true, also! Get wet, so to speak.
