Truth time, it’s actually Nov. 14 and I completely forgot about this project until yesterday, and then I promptly forgot again until today. I’m backdating it so it will flow properly but whatever, considering everything I am doing GREAT!

Something in Nature is the topic for Day 6.

I choose bodies of water. Isn’t it wonderful when you have a view of water? When I was growing up, my mother always wished that we had a pond on our property. My sister liked to sneak across the neighbor’s field and go to the creek near our house, and I went with her a couple of times. It was super nice to wade in the water and splash our feet into it.

And lakes are so wonderful too. To go out on a paddleboat, or fish, or even in a floatie, I have always enjoyed my time at lakes.

The ocean is magnificent, and somehow so strange how it goes all the way to the horizon. I like the ocean, but I am also a little frightened of it – of the magnitude, and the depth, and the things that lurk in the water that we can’t see.

When I was little, my parents would alwyas point out when we went over a lake or big river during car trips. I still do this for my children, even though they are grown. There’s something so lovely about serene about bodies of water.

So that’s what I’m grateful for.
