Well Now...

My goodness. Has it been so long? I guess this is what happens when you don't have a computer of your own. Anyway...

It is warm outside. Well, warmer. The smell of rain in the air and my tiny tulips and scillas smiling at the sun. Strawberries that stuck it out over the winter. How did I come to deserve such wonderful things? There have been cloudy days and nights so clear that I could actually see the stars. So many stars that all I want to do is find the nearest mountain top and lay on it and look and look and look until I've seen ALL of them. And then I want to see them some more. Time is coming to have my hands in the dirt and the warmth of spring on my face all while I watch things grow and grow and find the beauty in their creation and vitality and excitement at just- being.

This year my thoughts are for acknowledging the good, despite all other. In myself, in life, in the unplanned, in one moment. Let me tell you, it takes effort. It is so easy to over look them, whether intentionally or not, and just slug it through another twenty-four hours. But if you stop and look and listen and just breath and Be. Then you can be granted the gift of site. Seeing the presence, and presents, of things around you that- when you think about it another second longer- are all you really wanted. I even started a jar. With little slips of paper. Like when I was knitting a mitten and realized a great whopping mistake, as in- that's not where my thumb is- and at first was irked but, then found that I knew that it wasn't  my mistake and on top of that I knew how to fix it. How much power does a bit of happiness hold? Or a moment of joy that is allowed to exist? I am starting to think that they may just move mountains : )

Have a Wonderful Day!
