Only the Good - 27th edition
Yes, when things go the way we want it is sometimes easier to see only the good and overlook the bad. Now, I will give you one hint on this picture. Those branches that are missing on that side of the tree had to be cut off to allow a diseased tree (times 2) to come down without hitting either house before the storms hit in October/November. This was also taken midway through the job. I wrote about the tree trimmer briefly here.
So, find the good in this photo… it is there, don’t just state the obvious: the neighbor’s house is now safe from the other tree; use the less obvious, please. It is great practice for making your everyday life a little better, for we do, for the most part, create our own happiness, and if you can see the good in an otherwise ugly situation, you are halfway there, at least!
Now, run off to Nancy’s Only The Good site and add yourself to the blogroll, add a picture to your site so your readers can practice… What a better world you would help make. And while you are there, why not follow the links to the other participants. You just never know what any of us will come up with from week to week!
One response so far
The photo appears to have been taken through a screen? Which means that the photographer was safely out of the way of the tree’s fall.
It looks like this downed tree is just one of many on the property–greenery, shade, nesting birds, squirrels. The entire area looks lush, healthy and growing.
