Moments of Joy in Nature

One night a week, I drive quite a distance from my house to sing in a chorus.


The long distance is worth the effort because singing brings me great joy. 

I think it's important to find joy every day in as many places as one possibly can.

Purpose of the chorus is just that----joy.  The people who attend simply want to sing for the sake of singing. Now how awesome is that?  


On the way home, wisps of fog hugged the horizon in the countryside. 


Silhouettes of tall pine trees made a statement against the early evening sky.

A good quality music cd played as my car glided along the road.


My heart felt so filled with love for this earth. For the sunset. For the trees. For the music. For life!


What a thrill it is to be alive!

 At one point, I glimpsed toward the forest on either side of the road.  

 "Were there bears in there?" I asked myself. Probably. 


"If someone gave me $1,000 to spend the night all alone in that forest,  would I do it?"


Nope. Too scared.

Before I knew it, I had driven all the way home, filled with gratitude for so many gifts that are part of daily life.


NAME ONE THING IN NATURE THAT GIVES YOU JOY.
