Sometimes the rockiest paths lead to the most incredible and beautiful destinations…
…the previous days skies had been the color of grey wet ash…the coldness of the kind that reaches deep into the center of your bones…biting wind that left goose bumps only alleviated by the warmth of the flickering flames of the fire…and then…only if viewed by peeking from under the covers of the duvet…
…warm baby blue skies…dappled with gauzy pristine wisps gently meandering…the dancing of the ocean waves in the myriad shades of turquoise… ending in the lacy foam that caressed the beach… only a perfect day for our anticipated walk…
“The best way to pay for a lovely moment is to enjoy it.”
Richard Bach
…began with puddles from the previous rainy week…but no one minded..especially Whiskey…splashing through the particular sloppy areas was one of the many highlights of her day…we didn’t really mind either…just sloshed on through…
…like life’s path I couldn’t always see what was ahead and I wasn’t prepared for how rocky the path became…I wasn’t as agile as I would have hoped…stumbled…tripped over myself and only saved my face and knees by sacrificing my hands…
…like life…I have been hurt before and I will be hurt again…but we develop a strength as we fall down and get back up again…one careful step at a time…and with a “little help from my friends”…I made it
…we had to cover quite a bit of unsteady and rocky ground with lots of places that I could have slipped and fallen…there were ups and downs…detours around obstacles…but the view was worth it all…delightful…but for me…even more was the exhilaration of accomplishment…with the love and friendship that I shared that day…
…there will always be rocks…but may they be stepping stones instead of stumbling blocks…
Love, laughter and magic for your life…xoxo Renee’
I love the way you see obstacles, rocks along the pathway of life as stepping stones, rather than obstacles. I also find it encouraging to remember Ps 32:8 which says that the Lord will guide you along the best pathway for your life, and that He will advise you and watch over you, ensuring the obstacles are stepping stones! I enjoyed the photos and the analogy of the path to life, the ups and downs and making sense of it all.
Thank you for your comment…I am glad you enjoyed the blog. Yes, God is our guiding light on the path of life…without him we are so totally lost🦋
So nice to have been on the walk with you my love
