Twists and Turns

   If there is any one thing that stands out about living on the Bayou, it is the fact that you can be totally alone and not be lonely.  Many folks ask me how I am not bored being here by myself for so much of the time.  Well, there is too much to do to be bored.  In fact, I would be bored living like other people do.  If my day was spent indoors, in front of a TV or merely doing the same thing every day, my brain would explode!  I am wired to keep busy even when not feeling well.  With the health problems that settled in this past July, my methods of doing things has changed greatly but the chores still get done...life goes on...just differently.

  Early mornings are my favorite time to be out and about.  A certain peace can be found on the Bayou that is nowhere else on this old planet.  Of course, that peace has to be found within before the Bayou can work its magic.  When life offers up a bit of turmoil and the world spins around like a tempest in a teapot, the Bayou brings it all into perspective.  The twists and turns of life spill out somewhere just like the winding streams of the Bayou spill out into the Bay.  If you do not wish to be tossed out into the mass chaos, then stick to the calm waterways.  

  The winding of the Bayou was clear as I stepped outside the other morning.  The sunrise was spotlighting the twists and turns as it glinted off the rivulets of water and mudflats.  I knew it was to be a magical day...I just knew it.  The Bayou does not lie.  Not a boring day here...ever!
