Find Your Paradise

---

This old gal…

Realized that she had only walked the river by the cabin…one time…since coming to Texas…

Remember the first visit here…walked it every day…in awe of its beauty…the clear blue…the sparkle…

Marveled at the wild life…not really that wild…the antlered deer…the wobbly fawns…the big ducks…the little ducks…the two brown ducks who never part…

This little resort area…was unique…special…like nothing this Iowa girl…had ever seen…it seemed to be a little slice of paradise…

And now…four years later…the river…the wildlife…this paradise…has become…almost commonplace …the beauty still there…but now…just so familiar…

It’s kind of like the opposite of those rose colored glasses…instead of seeing the beauty that’s not there…we no longer see…the beauty…that is…

In life…love…friendship…

So join an old gal…take a walk down by the river…take off those glasses…find your paradise…in so many beautiful ways…it’s still there…

And this husband of mine…agrees…
