Early Morning Pasture Inspiration
Early mornings in the pasture are splendid these days!
The sun is up so very early...
as are the birds.
The equines go out to pasture early in the morning and enjoy the first few hours of the day
munching and exploring.
It's my favorite time of day (if I had to pick a favorite).
I hesitate to call anything my "favorite",
because there are so many special moments in each and every day!
The horses are happy to graze to their hearts' content and pay me no attention.
The donkeys, on the other hand, spy me and come to share a moment.
These two...
these wonderfully social beings...
have a depth of soul unlike others.
Given a choice between snuggling with me and eating, they chose me.
It's great to feel special...
and nice to know that I am more than just "she who feeds"!
I thought of something as I was walking through the pasture admiring the daffodils
on this cool morning...
It's important to always remember that so much in life....
is a matter of perspective.
Because....just on the periphery of this beautiful scene...
or of any beautiful scene....
there is, most likely, a little of this as well:
After all...you cannot have one without the other!
Don't ever be fooled by what seems like perfection.
Most likely it's just a matter of perspective!
And if it looks as though the grass really is greener on the other side of the fence...
don't forget what you leave behind!
Have a wonderful day, friend...
enjoy each and every moment...
and remember, it's all just a matter of perspective!
