Serenity

Last week I was able to break away from the everyday crazy, busy world and join my husband, brother, and dad down deer hunting. It was such a peaceful and enjoyable time. No sounds of cars, thoughts of homework, buzzing of televisions, ringing of phones, and the humming of the washer and dryer there to interrupt my thoughts. It was just me. Basking in the sun while upon the rock flats looking into deep valleys and thickets, imagining what could be nestled in them. Or balancing yourself on a log while floating above a 38 degree creek. Watching each leaf teeter totter into it and them watch it float until it turns the bend. Or baking in the heat and the light of a campfire. The glow from the faces of your loved ones is all you can see. Deer hunting to me isn't just about the sport. The trophy. The stories. Its about the memories. To me, its Serenity.
