A Moment in Nature

We live in a quaint little town nestled in Pinellas county and surrounded by busy cities. The town of Safety Harbor is right on the bay and it is simply wonderful. From where I live, we walk to downtown and the marina where there is a pier. We have brick lined streets, huge oak trees including one that is 300-500 years old. It is a quiet, peaceful town with friendly residents.

Today, my children and I took a walk to the pier donned with a fishing pole and a bucket of bait. My son had been asking me to take him fishing and I thought today would be perfect. The weather was beautiful, sunny with a slight breeze. The pier is covered, so I read my latest book, James Arthur Ray's Harmonic Wealth and watched my son fish. I had been reading in my book the importance of relationships with everyone in your life, and this was a perfect opportunity for me to sit back and enjoy being with my children.

While at the pier, we saw our friendly resident sea cows. There were four manatees that kept circling the pier and coming up for air. They would show off their tales and stick their whiskered snouts up high blowing out their air. The children loved it and I have to admit it was a truly naturally living experience. I made several attempts, along with other onlookers, to snap a picture of the sea cow family, but they seemed to escape the paparazzi.

I checked out the Save the Manatee site, a must see! The site is full of information on all things manatee and how we can help them, as they are in danger of being endangered. They are beautiful and gentle creatures and a joy to watch. I am so glad they blessed us with their presence today.

Here's to your health!
