How many of us go about our tasks each day deep in thought and not truly aware of what is around us? We spend so much time in our own thoughts and not truly engaged in the world. And then at the end of the day, we don't remember much of anything striking...

The Straight Poop
So, if I told you that I truly enjoy scooping poop,
would you believe me?
I do.
I truly do.
It is one of those satisfying chores...
when it's done, the pasture looks pristine,
and I know that it is healthier for the horses...
fewer parasites in the grass.
Manure mucking has become a lesson
in not only cleaning pastures,
but also in cleaning my mind.
I try during these tasks to be completely present in the moment.
Enjoying what is around me...
(usually animals!)
rather than letting my mind wander
to unproductive thoughts of
past or future.
I keep my camera close at hand so that I can share
particular sights and moments with you.
Like....
and.....
and.....
I have had enough life experiences, now, to realize
that you cannot change yesterday....so why fret over it!
Tomorrow never comes....so why worry!
(Everything in my life that I have ever worried about
is behind me....and I lived through it all....
so why did I worry?)
All I will ever really have is this moment right here and now...
so why not make it a clean one!
Here's to clean minds and clean pastures!
