Happy, Happy, Happy.....

Do you watch Duck Dynasty?  I do....and I LOVE it!  I find this show to be completely hilarious, and I greatly enjoy their value of nature, keeping life simple, and their devotion to family.  It has a good balance, but after a long day of work, their random encounters & conversations make me laugh so hard that the stress literally melts away.

Now that we moved to our 40 acres, I am starting to feel as though we are living a Duck Dynasty episode every day..... Well despite being broke in comparison to those guys.....we are about as happy as can be.....some days, I even say 'I'm Happy, Happy, Happy!'

Did you know that everything just looks better in the country?  I'm convinced that this is true.  The sky is simply gorgeous .....every morning I see a beautiful sunrise, every night....unbelievable sunsets, and throughout the day the skies are bluer than blue, or I am able to watch storms blow in with their front lines or large storm clouds....it is simply amazing.  The fireflies are more vibrant, the birds sing in chorus, and there are deer everywhere....as well as snakes!  The snakes don't bother me, and I find deer to be beautiful & tasty but those buggers better not decimate my garden or war will be wagged in a Dynasty episode type way!

Here are a few of the photos I took of the sky line around here.....

 



Isn't this pretty!?!

Looking a bit stormy?!

 

Even the night sky is quite gorgeous....wouldn't you say?!!

 

So go outside today, take a look at the sky and notice it's beauty!  You never know what you will find up above, but most days it is quite glorious.  I find that the more time spent outdoors, the more I appreciate the world around us, our impact on it, and my desire to do my part to protect it grows.  What are you doing to make the world around you a better place?  Think about that, figure something out, and do it today, tomorrow or everyday!!  We need to leave this place better than we found it.

And, doing so just may make you feel

 "Happy, Happy, Happy!"

 

Go ahead and try it and let me know how it turns out.
