Each and every day is a gift.
Think of that, when you wake up, and open your 'gift', to see what you have inside!
Take in the sights, the colors, the sounds!
Take time to really see what is around you, and all that you have, and are able to do!
When the days come that give you clouds, and rain, remember they are there for a reason. The sun and warmth will return. It has since the beginning of time, and it will continue to return. You just have to open your heart and mind.
If you have days that are sad, that is okay. Balancing life's emotions, is part of the journey. We all need down times to realize how blessed we are, in comparison with others. Just when we are feeling low, someone comes along that is in need, even more than we are... that is the journey of understanding.We are all connected, and we all need to look beyond our own pain and need... and see how we can help others.
By doing that, we will find our own peace. Taking time to stay as healthy as possible, and having friends to talk to, will get us through the rough times. There are many possible roads to travel. Some have bumps, and that isn't so bad... After all, they are the roads that give us the beauty of nature. The fast pace highways often lead us to more stress than the bumpy roads... ! Accept the bumps, and move forward...
Friendships and Time...
The other day I received an email about a high school reunion coming up... 40 years! Oh my gosh... !
Although I won't be attending, due to family trip... I loved the fact that I could connect with my past friends again! I sent my information, and requested that my email be sent off to Brenda.
Within two days, I was emailing her, after 40 years!
And within another two days, Nancy and I were emailing...
Friends from 7th grade dances, and swimming at Lake Paron!
Feels like yesterday!
UPDATE: Sue also connected! This is so much fun for me, knowing that we gals are once again connected! It is important to keep your life going in a positive direction, and circles are the earth's way ... !
Connections in life are our circles of life... The Lion King roars!

April, Crocus, Sunshine and Rain...
Well, I thought the title would fit the month perfectly, until I woke up to a smittering of snow on the pretty green lawn!
The crocus were bent and shaking with the chilly breezes, as I sat in my jammies by the window drinking my morning coffee.
We are going to have this up and down weather for awhile, yet, I believe. It is mother nature's way of teasing us!
Meanwhile, I am planning my calendar of spring and summer events. The basement studio is looking much better, and when I have another warm day I will paint the floor, so we can go out and find a small rug to put down to keep our toes toasty warm this next year.
Life seems busier now than before retirement! Steve is umpiring, and I am beginning to have classes / art nights in the studio. We have some travel plans, with family and friends...
The never ending circle of ideas for creating paintings, crafts, and classes keep me going, for sure! The winter blues are over. Yeah!!!!
(Did you hear me, Mother Nature? ! )
