Today Was A Good Day

Today was a good day for a walk. It was warm and sunny. I choose a path which lead through the forest. It was so quiet yet so noisy with life. The sounds from civilization was gone and the sounds of nature had taken over. As I walked I saw the wild flowers growing strong and proud, the bees buzzing around as they sang their songs. Wild mushrooms growing everywhere, poking up out of the fallen leaves. I ground a fallen tree and sat down, took off my shoes and let my feet dangle just out of reach of the ground. As I sat quietly I watched a doe walk up close, she stopped as she noticed me but, she did not run. She ate contently at the grass around her. After she had left I heard a scratching in the brush behind me. As I turned to look I spied an armadillo wandering aimlessly through the brush. He seemed not to notice I was watching him and went on about what he was doing. Soon I felt a tickle at my bare feet and as I looked down I saw a skunk. He had found my feet hanging there and had come up to sniff at them wondering what they were. After he was satisfied they meant no harm to him he wandered on his merry little way. As the day turned into dusk I decided it was a good time to go home. I felt at peace and ready to face another day without you.

Today was a good day.
