Gratitudinous
A sun soaked leaf. A call from love. An unsolicited hug. A good book. Pen and paper. A song sung over and over.
Choose Joy

Spring Cleaning
I am relishing this spring. So many things are coming together. There are sprouts of green all around me. It is a traditional time for clearing house. I am swept along in the energy of the season. Happily, I am letting go. But even more I am happily making room for good to flow in. [...]
