My Backyard
My family and I moved to Wisconsin in 2010 from the beautiful Colorado Rockies. I am originally from California, near the breathtaking Monterey Bay. My entire life I have either played at the beach or in the mountains, so moving to Wisconisn was a huge culture shock to me. As far as the eyes can see there are no mountains and certainly no oceans for me to enjoy.
We are surrounded by cows and cornfields, living in this rual area has done a number on my psyche. I became depressed and utterly miserable. In time I have come to realize, finding little things to enjoy is not only good for me, but also for my hubs.
One of my favorite morning rituals is sitting outside with a steaming mug of peppermint tea, listening to the birds serenade me while I greet the sun rise with a sense of tranquility.
My backyard may not be near the ocean or any mountains, but it is a place where I can find a moment in time, a place where I can let the sun shine in.
