Falling in Self Love: Day 148
Peace, Love & Oranges

As I walked with my father this morning, our time spent moved from awkwardness to ease & laughter.  We strolled the backwoods of the community where he & my mom live (Florida).  The homes are beautiful, as are the trees with dangling moss.  The temperature felt perfect.  It's always nice to share good times with my father, especially since we have had many moments of difficulty.

We found oranges growing on  trees along our path.  The seemingly cutest ones were so outrageously tart they made my eyes feel like they would cross!  HaHa!  Then we came upon a tree with 4 large mature & richly colored fruit.  They were not easy to reach...took quite a bit of maneuvering and help from my dad.  In the end they were deliciously sweet, juicy...perfect.  In this moment I am realizing that our walk and these oranges are very much like my relationship with my father.  With that, I thank God for our time. In honor of daddy, here is one of HIS Unstoppable Songs: ("Forever Young" by Rod Stewart)
