Green Grass

Did your lawn, garden and plants take a hit in the dry weather we've had lately?  Ours did.  It seems to happen about this time every year, doesn't it?  Life is sort of like that, too.

My dear cousin, Greg, called me yesterday.  I've talked of him before!  He calls "to hear" my voice, he says, but fails to see the good he does when he calls.  We sit and laugh our fool heads off.  Of course, it's the "nickel" he puts in me and the conversation just goes on and on...as does the laughter! 

So, what does this all have to do with "green grass"?  Hopefully, you read my last post, "drought", and now realize all my stories really have to do with our own life's challenges. In the process of talking with Greg, I told him some days become a challenge, not knowing what to write about.  He just laughed and poo-poo'd me real good. 

Yes, days that are dry and barren in our spirit, painful because of creaky bones, humid weather that's too hot to go out in...all called "life"...well, don't lose heart.

For many of us, green grass in our spirit may come because of a phone call, breakfast with a friend, or being grateful for something, like our pet sitting on our lap giving us something to hug and pet. It may come after sharing our concerns with a spiritual companion.  Doesn't matter.  It's the little things in life that matter!  Yes, "don't sweat the small stuff" but it's how we deal with the little things that make or break us.  No matter what, it's always a great thing to have someone to process it all with!
