A walk to Freedom

I walked out of the door. The sky looks so blue it was so hard for the grumpiest person to be in a bad mood. The butterflies were dancing to the sound of the birds. They were singing such a beautiful tune. I soaked up the fresh air smelling the scent of flowers. The sun warmed my face and my soul.

The feeling was so intense that my heart skipped a beat. I continued my walk to Freedom. After a stormy day I would have never thought it would be followed by a colorful rainbow and so much fresh air. I turned to my right to see the different shapes of mountains.

This is such an extraordinary feeling. I walked through the park and watched the children play. They were having so much fun. In minutes I saw them rush towards the ice cream man.

I love that they are enjoying life's simple things. All of the things that we sometimes take for granted. It's a privilege to feel free outside. The tree swayed as the wind blew through my dark hair. Each of my steps was filled with bliss as I couldn’t stop this smile from staying on my face.

As I look down at the beautiful grass I see a squirrel munching on the nut he found hidden in his secret spot. As I’m exiting the park a dog greets me with grateful licks.

Then his owner gives the friendly pet a bone that he catches with his teeth. As his excited tail wags he intensely digs a hole that he’ll put the bone down under.

Knowing it will be hidden for only him to own. How wonderful to know that I have a whole walk back to enjoy this beautiful day.
