Green

Living in the middle of the desert is...monotonous at times. There are thousands of shades of brown, beige, yellowish, and off-white, and perhaps there are desert-dwellers can appreciate the nuances of each shade, but this Georgia boy misses him some green.

But I didn't realized it until a few weeks ago when I left the city and saw a bunch of trees. And almost shed a tear.

Thankfully, recently the weather has changed, spring has sprung, and there is much green all around!! It does the heart good. I stop and thank the Creator every time I see a field of grass or a tree with newly sprouted leaves.

All my life living in the eastern US and Latin America, I took all the green around me for granted. But no more! Now I now how blessed the Americas are and I find a myself a little homesick every time a see a blade of grass these days...

(I'd love to upload a picture to show the lovely greenness, but I have temporarily misplaced my camera cord...)
