Jasmine Marie helping me type
My whole life I've been afraid.
Of the dark, of the unknown, of life in general.
This has made me become who I am.
Always being quieter than others.
At least at first.
Looking within to see the what & how of doing.
When I was young, I would go for walks in the woods.
The sounds of birds and the cracking of trees made me feel real.
To this day, I still enjoy a slow walk.
Even if my old bones can't go far.
I try to get out and about for a few moments.
Looking always upward to the sky.
Be it cloudy or blue.
I'm there .. looking ... enjoying.
So, being afraid of the unknown has done me no wrong.
I like being me.
This quiet lady who enjoys birds.
And, even on those days when I can't take walks
I can imagine what it was like when I did.

You have written words that sum up my own life--the fear, the connection to Nature, the Earth.
Thank you for those beautiful words and for sharing of your Self.
P.S. Jasmine Marie, gorgeous cat lady that she is, is doing a fine job helping you type.
Jasmine is a beautiful girl - what lovely markings she has.
I do very much relate to your words - I too tend to be afraid of the unknown and prefer the familiar to new adventures, I'd hoped to grow more confident as I got older but I think the reverse has happened! But knowing who you are and accepting it is a good thing too. xx
I relate to your words, too!
Beautifully expressed!
Your animals are so beautiful. Was just scrolling down to view them.
We thank you for Percy's 9.8 on his perfect curl.

JC, I can also relate to your words.... and you write them so well!

Yes, it's always good to be yourself!! Well said!

JC, you really struck home with a lot of these. Thank you for these lovely words.
That was a very lovely post.
Jasmine is so pretty. I guess we all harbor fears - how can we not? But enjoying a walk and the sky and the earth, well that's living in the moment, and that's all we really have.
Nice post.
We likes your words!
I loves the birds too!
Jasmine is adorable.
