Ponds, Water Ski or Snorkle

By

It's hard for the modern generation to understand Thoreau, who lived besides a pond but didn't own water skis or a snorkle." --- Bill Vaughn

 

 

I've always had a great appreciation for the arts but within recent years I have to ask, how safe can you be if you don't have any fun?  Ralph Waldo Emerson, Robert Browning, Thoreau... favorites of mine but could they have been any happier if they got off their Lily Pad and ventured out beyond the local pond? That is the question? 

 

Many people think about moving --- few (considering the global population) actually do venture forth and seek new places to live. Sink or swim --- that is another question. Dare to be brave! Consulting with your Agnet speaking to a reputable lender (even if you're content with where you are in your life right now), may make you ponder the gift of life. Most people have other opportunities and don't even know it. Perhaps, some are afraid to get their toes wet... That can be the beginning of a refreshing  new awakening. I'm an Agent on the run. I love adventures! I will swim with you till you reach the shores of your new home. I will climb the highest mountain with you until we stand on top that mountain together to catch our breaths and say Ah! 

 

Reflecting on this beautiful pond I sense freedom in our environment. The sky is the limit! We do have choices... much more so than Thoreau on his Golden Pond. If I want the pond, I take a vacation or visit the Dallas Arboretum. A home is all about location! You don't have to be stuck in the mud like a lily pad. You were born to be free and independent!!!

Patrica, I love this post and it really hits home with me.   John has always been a tumbling tumble weed.  I on the other hand lived in the same small town for 46 years, decided to head to Albuquerque for a vacation, loved it and within 30 days was moving in here.  I followed my dream, my heart and it's the very best thing I ever did.  Glad I took the leap of faith!

Patricia, moved several times over the years around the city of Chicago, then to Florida, then across the state and in the near future 120 miles up the coast and it will not be my last move! Enjoy your day!

The picture is a beauty, Patricia!  Reminds me of a Claude Monet painting.  They say life began in a primal pond.  If so, that looks like an aquatic Eden to me!

Hi Patricia -- for some a lily pad will be the perfect home -- the right spot and for others it might be too confining.  That's what makes the world so great -- so many choices...everyone can find what works best for them.

Hi Patricia, thanks for the special prayer for my reaffirmation baptism.  It was a great day and most of the church members were there and 12 were baptised. A blessed day!

Love this post, my husband is more of a home body, but I like to get out and test the water.

Patricia, I've always been pretty much up for an adventure and moving to Huntsville from Chicago was decided on a weekend visit.  Will this be my last stop...I don't know...it's a big world.
