I found my heart hanging from a young tree at West Park in Carmel, IN. I had just dropped my oldest off at work and me and my second oldest decided we were going to take advantage of this beautiful day. We both love the outdoors and we just googled a location and ended up here. The point of our walk today was to take in the moment; not so much for the exercise. You see, I have been going through some health problems lately on top of dealing with depression so I use nature as my comfort zone. It helps ground me and helps me realize the beauty many of us look passed every day. We had never been to this park and had no clue what the trails were like or how long they were; we just parked and started walking. I first noticed the heart hanging from the tree like an ornament and I thought maybe it was for a memorial. I stared at the heart as I walked by and then I noticed there was writing. I turned back around because I thought there would be a loved ones name or saying on them. Once I read what it said, I removed the heart and immediately looked up the sight. As I read somethings I realized I was meant to find this. I have been so out of balance and worried that it reminded me of the kindness that is around us everyday. It May sound crazy but this heart made my day. Something so simple. We forget (myself included that life can be beautiful without expensive things or traveling the world). The most meaningful things in life are free and the world could use a little more of that. Thank you to whoever made this for me to find. Blessed it be.
