52 Fridays, Week 16: "Mother Earth"

This week's theme is "Mother Earth". I grew up in the Puget Sound area of Washington State and while I complain about the rain we can get (and it's been a lot lately), I actually feel very fortunate to live in an area that has a pretty mild climate. We have it pretty easy here compared to others who have been dealing with all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. My heart goes out to the people whose lives have been shattered by the hurricanes, earthquakes, and last night - tornadoes. I just can't even imagine what these people have gone through, losing their homes and loved ones. So, I will quit complaining about the rain and enjoy each day as a blessing - because each one really is. From where I live, I can step outside and not only see the Puget Sound, but I can smell the salt water and hear the jet skis on summer days. Then on the other side of town, I can see this majestic view of Mt. Rainier. I don't know where else I could live and have water on one side of me, the mountains on the other, and be a drive away to the countryside. It's really a beautiful place to be and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
