Dreaming While Awake

photo by Mike Lockie

I visited Caroline@Whimsical Whispers yesterday and she had the above picture on her blog. After I left my comment I sat here and stared at this photo for an hour. The beauty of this photo engulfed me! I was listening to my music, so I sat back in my chair and closed my eyes. I envisioned myself walking down that lighted path until I came to a beautiful yellow house by the lake. The front porch was huge and had these big white rocking chairs on it. There were deer and bunnies running around. No one was at this house, but I never felt alone. I sat in a rocking chair, took a few deep breaths and started talking aloud. I was thanking God for what I was seeing and feeling. I felt so at peace and filled with happiness. I sat there for awhile in silence, but again I knew I was not alone.

When I opened my eyes my body felt so relaxed and my heart was full. I'm so grateful to Caroline for posting this photo. I'm grateful to Mike Lockie for creating such beauty and I'm grateful to God who met with me on a porch by the lake and listened to my grateful heart.

At the end of today I'd like to give a gift to three blessed people! Please tell me what feeling(s) does the photo above arise within you? I will announce the three selected comments within my next post!

Thank you to everyone who has listened to my show I Choose Bliss and left such beautiful, encouraging and inspiring words! You will never know what that has done for my heart and self-esteem. With my entire heart I thank you! If you'd like to listen to my very first podcast show you can do so by clicking the link to the right at the very top of my blog.

Namaste
