I am pulled here - to this little lake of "mine" which isn't mine but you know what I mean. :-)
While my affections may be scattered and while my heart forever belongs to precious family, friends, fur babies, and all things home ....
It also belongs here.
I get antsy when I have to be away from the lake, even if only for a day. There is a restlessness that I can't describe. The call of this little lake of OURS is so strong. The call of the wild indeed! I breathe differently when I am here. My step is lighter. The heat doesn't seem to matter. My senses are heightened. And my soul is always awakened.
Like a magnet, I am pulled. Like a mother, I am consumed - dedicated; worried; elated; sad; happy; scared; brave; weak; and strong.
Like a mother, I am in love.

Our world is a gift and this little lake, and all the creatures who live there, are a tiny piece of what is so right in our world. Thank you for sharing it with us.

And what a guy "our" dear Papa Goose is...ever watchful and vigilant. How interesting that you have an entirely different sense of things at your lake. I have known that feeling, but rarely.

Kim, I just found out that my nephew passed away, and when you're talking about emotions.......well, today I'm sad, very sad. Your pictures comforted me, and I know exactly what you mean about the call of the wild - that's how I feel in nature. Say a prayer for my sister, would you? This family is going through so much right now. love you, Kim. ~Sheri

I am SO sorry about the passing of your nephew. I can only imagine the emotions you are feeling. I am so very very sorry. I will keep you, your sister, and all of your family in my prayers. And in my heart always... May God Bless your nephew as He wraps his arms around him and holds him in eternity. I love you dearly Sheri.

So sorry to hear of Sheri's nephews death.

Kim, I used a picture of yours (one that you said we could have) for my post tomorrow to remember by nephew. If you don't want it on there, please let me know, and I'll take it off. Thank you, Kim.
