I thought I would put my mind in a healing state so I walked down to the mail box - a long walk but one that always gives me joy. Still struggling with this stomach issue I got half way down a prayed I could make it. I was watching the sun set and it filled my soul with such peace.
As I walked I felt there were eye on me. As I turned my head there was the "Orphaned Doe" trying to see if she could steal some of Sophie's dog food that was just pour in her bowl. I had to giggle because Sophie will share a bit with her which is so strange because Sophie is one who is all about herself first.. Remind you of anyone?? She is a wonderful spirit - works hard and understands her purpose here but she has never been one to put herself out there much - over the past two years that really has changed and I that she realizes how much I do depend on her and in turn she is willing to give 110% of herself. See we all can change.
As I reached the mailbox - and found nothing inside I could have been cross for WASTING what little energy I had but then I saw this amazing, perfect single cone as I headed back to the house. It had made it through all that horrible wind that hit the farm not too long ago and managed to hang on while maintaining it's perfection. WHAT A LESSON!!
"Hang on no matter what hits you - you have a higher purpose that needs you to be right in the middle of the storm"
I clung to this imagine as my body during the night revolted against the germs inside. Not a pretty sight and I am glad I live alone - hate to subject anyone to this but as the sun rose this morning I can see I am still hanging on. Not a 100% by any stretch but stand and breathing and giving thanks for that!! I strive to be the Pine Cone...

Great pictures, at least your mailbox being empty meant you didn't have any bills in there. Take care, get well soon.
Beautiful imagery, Grace. I hope you are on the mend today. Just be gentle with yourself. I know how hard it is to just let yourself be. Try not to push yourself too soon & let your body heal itself. Just remember, the pine cone didn't have to will itself there - it just is...
Take care of yourself Grace!
Thanks ladies for your sweet words and good energy. I have to pull myself together and get some work done - no other hands to see the work through. I will keep good thoughts of healing within me today and place purpose in my heart.
