As I Enjoy

The blue sky shined so bright I had to put my sunglasses on to protect my eyes.

A few clouds, the sun, and a slight breeze makes me thankful I am alive.

These are the days for lazing about and enjoying my freedom.

A perfect day for a tan and to catch up on some reading.

I’ve turned off my phone because I respect this great gift that has been presented. I’m not going to ruin it by being drawn into someone else’s drama.

So, I will lay here and enjoy this little slice of heaven, the sky is above me and the ground is below, and I don’t have a care in the world as I enjoy the vastness of God’s creation.
