It’s late this Sunday afternoon and I’m just in from moving the water around. As I wandered over the 3 plus acres, Bob and I live on, I was thinking, “This is prosperity to me!”

The sky is blue, the sun is soaking into my muscles and the view… oh, the view!

This is prosperity to me: Being able to live where I want. In a place that brings me joy and feeds my soul. Being able to walk my land. Being able to own a small piece of the marvelous, mystic of Montana. Being able to enjoy the day!

Having the time to watch the birds; finches, sparrows, doves and more around the bird feeder and splashing around in the bird bath.

Having the time to garden. Fresh veggies; lettuce, radishes, snow peas and onions straight from the garden to the table. Yummmmm…..

I am so grateful for the life I live.

Are you?  Are you grateful for the life you live?

Living on the land is healing for me. It reminds me of the connection I have with Mother Earth. We all have that connection. So many lose it living in the city. I did for a while. Living surrounded by concrete and asphalt. If you live in a city, find some time this week to spend in a park or zoo. Be safe and reconnect with Mother Earth. Maybe she’ll remind you of what you’ve been missing.

When you take that time to reconnect, think about this: What is prosperity to me?

Have a marvelous day!
