Beautiful March Day

Well, it's been awhile since I have written much on here.  I have been writing, a lot, but it's been in my online classes.  I am still taking them, and really enjoying what I am learning, and how God is stretching me.  


I haven't been away from the computer, reading, and writing much the past three months.  However, the other day it was nearly 60 degrees, and even though I had a lot of school work to do, I slipped out for about 90 minutes with my dog and camera!  Most of it was because my dog kept bringing me her leash and staring at me, begging to go for a ride.  She is feeling a bit of cabin fever with me doing school.  We ran out to see if the lake we love to fish at was ice free yet.  It isn't, but it was gorgeous.  The sun cascaded like diamonds over the blanket of ice.  The sun beating down on my face as I sat on the dock, felt amazing and I could have stayed there the rest of the afternoon!  

The only area of the lake that was ice free was the little channel between the upper and lower parts of the lake.  That area was full of ducks, geese, and had an eagle soaring over the water.  It was beautiful, and so nice to get out and relax for a little bit.  

When I came back to the house, I was energized to jump in and get back to work on my school, and my thoughts were much more crisp and energized.  It was good to get out and breathe some fresh air, soak in the sun, and enjoy God's beauty.  As always, it brought clarity to my thoughts, and gave me the boost I needed.
