Kindness Matters

Kindness matters. 

Next time, think twice before you launch that jab in to the heart of someone else’s pain. Stop yourself before you start gossiping. Please just be kind. Because it matters.

Turkeys

Made time for a coffee break, a stroll outside with the camera and sitting down to write. 

This is progress. 

It is another day of big dreams, conversations about those dreams and talk of not letting the turkeys get you down. 

Truthfully, I wish those turkeys would just go away.

Up

Rhubarb, daffodils and crocus all up and looking fine! There is nothing more inspiring than the rebirth of Spring. And with it this year, my resolve to live a more peaceful life. 

Shift

Spring is almost here. I can smell it now.  Her labor has been a long and difficult one and I'm hoping this bodes well for a long and leisurely season. 

The last four or five weeks have really kicked my butt. Not a complaint, just a point of fact.  I've had to rely on folks much more than I like to and have been deeply humbled by those whose struggles and victories have been truly monumental. 

I feel a shift coming on and it's not just the weather.

New Neighbors

Our robins have been perusing real estate all week. 

This morning they signed a lease on a new home in the arborvitae just across from the kitchen window. Thankfully the apartments on the front porch were deemed a little too close to those pesky neighbors!

Happy Easter!

We awoke to a new blanket of fresh wet snow this Easter morning. 

 Mother Nature is determined to teach us patience.

Hope

I never knew how much I complained until I tried to stop.
