The Great Outdoors

Do you ever see wild animals?

I live in rural Arkansas, therefore I get to see a variety of “wild” animals. We have frequent deer, racoons, squirrels, ground hogs, beavers and I recently saw a red fox on the ring camera a few nights ago.

There are rumors of black panthers in our area and black bear are about a 2 hour drive from here.

But the wildest of all the animals who frequent our area are anthropoids called Tourists.  Some are feral through and through and others are easily tamed with a little kindness. Without them out town wouldn’t flourish.

Detours

(JANUARY 8, 2015)
There will often be detours in life. Our problem is that we grumble the entire time about having to take the detour because it wasn’t in our plans, it wasn’t the way we wanted, not the route we intended to take. If we could quiet ourselves for just a moment and open our eyes then we might see that this detour is the scenic route. Look around. It’s a much lovelier view.
Remember detours do not take you away from your destination, they are only an alternate way of getting there.
