Lockdown 351

Lockdown Day 351 - 12 March 2021

Today I chose to look for the little blessings life sometimes  unexpectedly draws our attention to. My choice was inspired by a heart-touching conversation with a dear friend whose brain has difficulty draining the fluid it produces.

While sitting in a garden restaurant, the little hens and giant rooster potted around the garden. I realised later this rooster is a very opinionated rooster🐓, crowing on the balustrade right next to me whenever I gestured or spoke.

Luckily he crowed way more than three  times 😂, causing everyone around to erupt in spontaneous bouts of laughter. I was intoxicated by the green canopy and the serotonin rush released by all the laughing.

After lunch I went to check on my Bestie's recovery and headed home for a quiet evening on the stoep.

In the back of my mind and the pit of my stomach I still carry my friend's news.

This is the way life goes... ups and downs, highs and lows, the ebb and flow like the tides of the sea. Relentlessly pounding the shores, day in and day out. There is beauty in it all, the timeless, ageless treasures from God.
