Sunshine and all it brings

Sunshine

Bicycle rides

Walking along the bubbling creek

Reading books out of doors

A taste of spring is what I long for, my anticipation creates a restlessness that nothing else can remedy.

Bring on the song of Spring.

Changing Leaves

"I keep turning over new leaves, and spoiling them, as I used to spoil my copybooks; and I make so many beginnings there never will be an end." ~Jo March, Louisa May Alcott, Little Women. A few years ago, I upgraded to a new-to-me, used iPhone. The camera was better, the storage slightly larger for my obsessive hobby of taking photos of things that caught my eye during walks. (Let me be honest, it happened far too often, but then again, it's who I am!) My friend's husband jokingly asked if it came with a photo album of leaves, or something along those lines. To his credit, it was a witty and hilarious joke that reflected a reality and truth, that all who were present knew very well... Sheena sure loved to post photos of leaves.

Why do we find frustration in taking more time to end up where we intend to be? Shortcuts. Are they truly the easier option? Or could they inhibit the process of preparing us for our destination in the most beneficial and beautiful way. Could they ...

Chucking things in a bin

Items that held sentiment, dreams,goals and hope for the future, or memories of moments I never wanted to forget Tonight I found myself looking at these items through different lenses Chucking things in the bin became a overwhelming source of freedom Not everything, by any means, but certain things that no longer held value or use, found their way into the bin. Now if only I could be as decisive on my future... Where the road leads, I have no idea, but I am excited for what adventure is around the corner
