I am musing about....
Blue-er Bluebells!
Last Sunday my hubby and I enjoyed a lovely hike at nearby Parklands where the Bluebells had transformed the woods into a sea of airy color like a blue fairy land. It is always so amazing to take in this phenomena that takes over Parklands for a couple short weeks every Spring.
We opted to start from the South gate this year. Something different. As we headed in, we enjoyed the lovely Spring weather and the chance to breathe in the fresh woodsy scents. The closer we got to the river, the denser became the Bluebell population.
Pretty! Very pretty! But as I gazed across the river, I perceived the more abundant flora on the other side. "I think it is better over there" I told my husband. About that time, we saw some trail blazers across the river, heading in the opposite direction from us.
It was kind of hard to discern their faces, but my husband with his fairly acute vision thought he recognized them and called out his potential name. He was right. It was him. As we yelled across the ravine, I mentioned that it looked better over there. "My wife was just remarking that she thought it looked better over by you" he yelled back. We laughed and remarked something to the affect that the Bluebells are always Bluer on the other side of the fence (or river in this case).
With that we headed on. And the further we got in, the more beautiful and lush became the sea of blue. It now occurred to me what they had seen from the other side where we had not yet been.
As I later reflected, I had to smile. Lesson learned. Be happy with what you have and where you are. And keep in mind that the journey is not over yet. Only God knows what lies ahead. And so with God and thus hopeful anticipation, let us journey on!
