In my quest to find beauty in each day, I sometimes get bogged down by life itself. Most of the time my mind thinks I am 25 years old still. But, occasionally my body says" Oh no, you aren't 25 years old, you are more than twice that age! Thanks body for reminding me. I had a slight set back with my injured knee yesterday afternoon. I have been having increased mobility and feeling pretty good, even started taking the stairs again. Well, the knee rebelled, I stood up to do something at work and had searing pain in knee. I hobbled home, took ibuprofen and laid down. When i could move a little better I went to the store to procure a knee brace. You see, the new medical system at the clinic I go to is so bad, that when I told them i could not put any weight on the knee, they said "Well we can't get you in today, but i will leave a message for the nurse to call you back." Well later in the day, the nurse called. She could not even get me in the next day. I told her to forget about it! I would go buy a brace and take care of myself. I was a little annoyed.
So, feeling a bit down, I got up this morning, put the knee brace on and set out for work. Just as I turned the corner, the enormous full moon came into view in the western sky, which was totally clear, and the air was crisp and cool. It was so amazingly beautiful, I just forgot everything and was in awe.
"The moon is at her full and riding high, Floods the calm fields with light. The airs that hover in the summer sky Are all asleep tonight." William C. Bryant
So, thank you Earth for sending me that beautiful message this morning.
