Every morning I take my faithful canine companion, Sparkle, for a walk. We have route that we both enjoy. Sparkle likes it because it is a treasure –trove of (apparently) fascinating smells.
I enjoy it because it is beautiful and serene.
The route is a very popular path along Solivita Blvd which follows the course of linear stream. There is plenty of shade in the summer and shelter from the chilly breezes in the winter. I love starting my day out with this leisurely walk with Sparkle. It sets a happy tone for the rest of the day.
When I’ve felt anxious or troubled, I’ve sought its peace and calm. To me, it’s the perfect place to meditate. Even though we take this same route every day at least once, and most often, twice a day, I never tire of it. The ripples on the surface of the water remind me that life has an ebb and flow to it. The trees, flowers and birds that are attracted this stream provide an ever changing scene.
It is a piece of paradise practically in my backyard.
A real gem for you and Sparkle both!
Thanks! And for the whole community. We always meet other dogs and their mommies and daddies when we are out.
Thanks for sharing Your Special Place!
Is there a bench somewhere along this path?
You could sit and write a bit too…
Blessings!
There are benches all along the path. I’d rather sit there and read. It is also a place where I can meditate.
What an amazing place we live in. Your picture could be a Thomas Kinkade painting if it had a cabin or gazebo in it. Yes, it is our little piece of heaven. We thank God for all of His blessings.
Thanks, Barb. I love the beauty that surrounds us here.
