So Lucky


I was walking to the mail box the other day and I stopped and just looked down the drive way.  Since we have been here a little over 2 1/2 years, we have come used to the fact that we are so lucky to live on so much land, covered with woods.  Some times, I just stop and realize that not everyone has to walk 1/2 mile round trip to their mail box.  You might run into a few spider webs and know that there is poison ivy under a few of the trees but you might see a few birds in the trees, a chipmunk run from the middle of the drive way and see some kind of wild flower.  Plus, the 1/2 mile walk is good for me.  Brambly Pines feels like home to me now.  I feel like we have been here forever.  I don't ever want to take it all for granted.  I just need to walk to the mail box every day and stop and think about how lucky we are.
