From Muddled to Unfettered

There are lots of things that have a way of muddling up a perfectly fine day. Most of the things that do the muddling don’t usually give you a heads up. But as they piled up the other day, I decided to force myself out of any ruts this muddling had caused. I headed over to Deerfield Farm for no other reason than to find a way to snap out of it.  I had a hunch that it would be a sure cure for the little things that ail me. Just the view out the back end of the barn was enough for the miracle cure. I looked down upon the field of well kept cows that stood among the spectacular colored fall backdrop.  I thought to myself,  “Hello Ladies, your view is a special one”. If that wasn’t the cure all, the magical pill came next as I got a dose of the barn’s three resident kittens. They jumped about in a pile of wood shavings blissfully unaware of their perfect lives. As I watched them in their unassuming perfection, anything that felt heavy, became light.  

…and so it really would be that simple to turn things around.

….I brought my daughter there today after I had experienced the place’s simple pleasures. I had told her that I wanted to bring her somewhere special and she dropped everything to come for the ride.   She too cuddled with the kittens that easily managed to add some ethereal quality to her day.  While this was only a simple serving of positivity, my reason for bringing her there was planned.  I was hoping to help her realize that the most effective tools are often the most simple ones.  I hope that she learns to seek out those things that will make her life good and unfettered propelling her through obstacles. Only you can see yourself through.  If you can do this, life is yours to enjoy.
