Spring Fever

Greetings of the Day to All…

The gusting March winds have died down after their days long quest to blow away everything in their wake. When the winds blow they come right through this old house I live in. The Spring Equinox is March 20, just 4 more days away. The Spring Fever is intense this year. Last Spring I planted a pandemic garden and I excited to be able to start gardening in the weeks to come. It’s good to have something positive to anticipate.

I wish you all a bright and beautiful day. May you find grace in this and every day. Bright blessings to all…

Breaking A Long Spell of Writer’s Block

Greetings of the Day to All…

I’ve been working on breaking a long spell of writer’s block, that has quite frankly, gone on too long. Writing here on a more regular basis has been very helpful and I’m starting to feel accountable to showing up and writing something, anything on this page. The fact is, I’ve got a lot of things to write about and right now that seems more appealing than working on memoir and personal essay revision.

So, I’m a mission to shake off my writer’s block and I hope you’ll join me on my journey as I poke about for interesting things to write about and maybe bring back an old popular topic here, Daily Affirmations.

Life is a path. It’s a metaphor I use often because I am a walker, and over the years I’ve recognized the changes in my life are shifts in the path. One year into the COVID pandemic, I shifting my path. I am not sure where it will lead me. Time, non-existent time, will tell.

Daylight Savings Time

Greetings of the Day Everyone… Due to the wonders of Daylight Savings Time, we all lost an hour of sleep last night. I find myself sleeping much more in recent weeks due pandemic fatigue. So rather than set the alarm, which I actually don’t use, I slept in. Didn’t miss out on my requisite 8 1/2 hours of sleep, but I did miss some sunshine.

However, I am grateful for the longer days and warmer weather to come over the next few months. Everyday in the past week or so, I feel my hope growing, after this long unprecedented year, this terrible pandemic, that has changed the world and all of our lives in so many ways. Despite my hope, I will still continue to mask up and stay safe. I hope you all will too. We’re still in uncharted territory and many states are already lifting restrictions. I will continue to follow what I feel is comfortable for me, including keeping a 6 ft. distance from strangers, and shopping in stores that aren’t busy.

I wish you all a blessed day filled with hope. May you all be kind to one another and find joy in the little things.

Morning Routines

Good Morning Everyone… I’m a creature of habit and in the past couple of weeks, instead of sitting with my coffee in front of the computer, I’ve been up and about doing busy things in the morning. That said, I’ve been getting later with my morning greetings or missing doing them altogether.

I find after a couple of weeks, I like my morning routine but I think it needs some readjusting. I miss sending out my morning missives.

I wish you all a bright and cheery day. Spring is on the way. Hope grows daily. Blessed be… 💙

Spread Hope Around

Good Morning Everyone! Another bright, sunny warm day today. It certainly is uplifting after the long, sad and dreary winter we’ve all had due to the pandemic.

There is definitely hope in the air in the past few days. Today, I’m going to take that hope that I feel in my heart, and spread it around. I hope you all do too. Love and kindness have held us all together in the past year. Though we’re still going to have to adhere to COVID safety protocols in public, even after we’ve been vaccinated, it’s okay, friends… We’ve got this. Look how far we’ve come through this difficult year. Keep spreading kindness friends, as though you are spreading seeds in a garden.
