Cloud Watching



It's Sunday afternoon, here I sit cup of tea in  hand watching the sky as the fluffy white clouds roll past.  The peace and serenity of a Sunday afternoon can not be gained from any other day of the week.  So I absorb the quiet stillness and listen to the backdrop of sounds from the local community; dog barking, birds cheeping, children playing and in the distance a car radio blaring.  It's life and i'm thankful for every second of it.  

But back to my clouds.  They appear so perfect; formed and shaped by the atmosphere in which they glide effortlessly.  A memory pops in to my mind of sunny afternoons as a child playing in the large green fields of the countryside.  Exhausted we'd lie on the grass and look skyward,  peering at the clouds to distinguish shapes, faces, animals etc.  The joy of those days, the innocence and laughter a fond memory today but yet it has made me smile - a good feeling unfolds within me filling me all those feelings again.  

So even if it's just a quiet moment while you enjoy a cup of tea or coffee, take a moment to look around you, what reminds you of the happy innocent unspoiled days of childhood ?

Blast from my childhood days ... Enjoy xxx
