Go Outside and Get the Stink Off Ya
| Posted on November 15, 2011 at 12:06 PM |
I remember when we were kids, and Mom was fed up and
desperately needed a break, she would roar, “Go outside and get the stink off
ya.” I used to think that was an odd thing to say to a gang of raggle-taggle
farm kids who liked to play in the cow pasture. But as an adult who is
approaching 50 (although still a kid at heart), it makes a lot more sense
to me now.
I don’t know about you, but when the days get shorter and
crisper, I tend to make less time to get outside and enjoy nature. By the time
all of life’s demands are taken care of, darkness has fallen. Then I just
want to settle into my warm cozy home, eat home-cooked meals, and snuggle down
to a good book or movie.
Today, I made the time to take an oceanside walk. Today
nothing deterred me. Not the call to work harder. Not the lure to do something
“more productive.” Not even the
chill in the air. Nothing stopped me today.
In spite of the cool air, the sun warmed me nicely. I
meandered down the path, hypnotized by the frothy, rolling waves. I imagined
the sounds of the waves sending messages from faraway places. I observed the
ravens congregating in a triangular pattern, and wondered what they were saying
that was so urgent. I caught a whiff of a faint scent similar to sweet grass;
and I noticed how the wind had shaped the trees along the pathway.
My heart pounded, reminding me of how long it had been since
I climbed these stairs to Mori Point, this favorite place of mine in Pacifica.
And just as I reached the top, a bunny hopped out of from the brush, as if to
greet me. She seemed to freeze in the moment. I wondered if this was out of
fear or fearlessness. Either way I felt comforted by her soft, warm presence.
And even though I had enjoyed this view hundreds of times, I
marveled at the beauty of this sanctuary. For years, it has provided me a place
to relax and contemplate, a place to remember, and a place to give gratitude. I
thought of how this place had helped me LET GO of "old stuff,” and how new
dreams were inspired here. As I stood overlooking the ocean, I thought of my
Mother’s words. Today I was grateful for “going outside and getting the stink
off me.” |

Has it ever happened that you simply desperately wanted to download The Lincoln Lawyer but could not do so as you were left confused by the contradictory reviews you heard or read about the full movie The Lincoln Lawyer? While some said that the movie The Lincoln Lawyer was quite good and worth watching, others felt that it was a total waste of time and dollars.

It is possible to reduce your auto policy premiums by dropping extras coverage. This means things like as towing costs or maybe the rental car expenses while your car is with the shop. The savings might be small, however the warranty on your new car, namely its roadside assistance provision may provide them at no cost.

If you're your small business owner or perhaps "run the particular shop" at the job, you comprehend the advantages and disadvantages of being your own personal boss. Positive, you can easily generally make your own personal schedule, but in addition to that freedom could be the reality of being an businessperson: the duty, the answerability, and the extended stays that can cause burnout rapidly.
