Today, is a day, now that I am home...where I DO NOT have to go out again!! I can put my PJ's on and stay in them all day!! I can lounge on the sofa watching football, or taking a nap, or sketching!! For the rest of the day....this day is mine to do with it whatever makes my boat float!! PUDDLES....this was an interesting prompt to think about....and "every path has its puddle" proverb reminded me of what I do when one appears in my path....Sometimes I jump over it (paying it no never mind as if it is not even there!!) Sometimes I walk around it (taking a look at it, but making sure not to disturb it in anyway!) Sometimes I tip toe thru it (just barely getting my toes wet, trying very hard to only hit the surface of the puddle!) BUT most of the times I SPLASH right into it....FEET FIRST...Stomping and romping ...without any boots on...getting myself wet from head to toe...or toe to head...knowing fully well that I just might catch a cold...or get dirty...muddy...but also knowing that I will come away from that puddle with a knowledge that it wasn't as bad as I had thought it would be....there was a lesson to be learned...and I allow some of the UNDERWATER DRAMA to DISSOLVE...to ESCAPE... There is just something about puddles...I just seem to want to go through to get to the other side! (mud and all!!)
Artfully Yours,
Pattie
