Thinking about the small things

They say "Don't sweat the small stuff", then they say "God is in the details".

I happen to think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Sometimes the small stuff will kill you and some times the big stuff will crush you.

I really have no answer...

so I went looking for the little stuff on Sunday 

in a quest to understand the big picture.

There is a really cool place here in Naples called Freedom Park

It is a little bit of the swamp in the middle of town. 

 It is set up to handle the runoff water from several large nearby communities.

It uses nature to filter the water before sending it back out.

Boardwalks and paths run through 50 acres.  Truly amazing!

I went in search of God-the Details.  

The little things to awe and amaze me and 

remind me I am not all that in this giant puzzle

Just A Little Piece.

First-Flora and Fauna

 

Then Friends...or maybe "Frenemies"

After I got lost (seriously-I meant to stroll...but I came out 2 hours later)

I did feel better

Not great

I am still fighting "it"

but it will be all good...

I took a million pics, but my macro work is AWFUL and 

I really want a new camera!!!!!!

Working it out...

I was sad and anti-social this weekend.

I just couldn't shake it-it really is still sitting out there waiting. 

I REFUSE to allow it in, so I am working it out the only way I know how.

First, I went to God...

I really HATE when I get a message I need, you know...

This is the ceiling of my church. 

Then I went to the water...

 Poor unwanted umbrella...

  I was not finding any inspiration...

 This was all a father and son needed to be happy

This was all a father and daughter needed

I needed my son and daughter...

So I went to the pier to see what I could see

Kind of awesome

GORGEOUS weather

But it still wasn't right...
