i can't quit....

i haven't written in this my blog "journal" for several days. i have been so busy with gardening, a hobby that i love so much. i love nature. when i'm out in it i feel so close to God, and just love digging in the dirt, planting and watching what i planted grow. now to some this may not be a favorite thing to do, but, for me i find it satisfying and therapeutic.

one of the other reasons i haven't written because when i initially started this blog, i really wanted people to read and take something from it you know something like a "gold nugget" that they could apply to their lives or just think about maybe throughout their day. i don't sense that happening, but then of course that's going strictly on "feelings" and that's not always the best thing to do. some have let me know that they very rarely read, and i suppose that's what got me started thinking that way. however after thinking it over, i have come to the conclusion if not for anyone else but for myself i must continue to write. it too is therapeutic and in some interesting way brings a healing to my soul. how could i not be filled with words when God fills me each day with something that i could share. i tend to lean towards some of the same topics, i guess because those topics are what seem to be most relevant to me at this point in my life. maybe in time this will change, as i continue to grow. of course not physically but mentally through mind and soul. well, these are the thoughts that have come to mind this morning. i almost quit writing, but i believe God wants me to continue, because it brings a soothing to my soul and a real enjoyment to me. always trying to keep it real and remembering what i titled this blog so i must try to live up to it. in some way i believe i have this morning.

the following is a song that i found to be just beautiful and soothing. a song worth listening to as you possibly have your own time of reflection.
