Peaceful ponds.....

In the rush of life we forget how to relax ... at least I often do.

So I have a daily prompter. A pond. It is there where the weights of the day are lifted just by the sound of the water ... the birds in the trees surrounding it ... the ripples ... the reflection of the clouds floating on its surface.

If you don't have one, you can make a pond. It doesn't have to be huge. It can be as small as you wish. You do not need acres of land to make one.

A small fish pond with the sound of gurgling water and the sight of the colored fish swimming in it can do more for razzled nerves than any amount of medication or drink or cigarettes ... and it certainly is healthier .... and the cost is a one time only cost.

There is something about the sound and sight of water that soothes the soul like nothing else.

Peaceful ponds .... a way to self preservation.
