"Don't wish me happiness I don't expect to be happy all the time....It's gotten beyond that somehow. Wish me courage and strength and a sense of humor. I will need them all." Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Change

It is because of winter that I appreciate spring. How many people do you know whose favourite season is winter? I used to dislike winter but as the years have gone by I've come to appreciate it. Winter is a time that encourages stillness making it the ideal season for inner reflection. As I watch the crocuses bloom I am reminded of how normally I resist change. Yet here I am welcoming spring. How is it I ask myself that this apparent contradiction lives within me?

  1. Can't wait to see our crocuses in March. Spring is my favorite season.

  2. I'm amazed at how many different colors are available....these look blue but they are actually purple. I don't have any blue ones- yet. It was so nice for you to visit Laura. Thank- you.

  3. We have no crocuses or tulips blooming yet, but I see their green heads sticking out, a sure promise spring is coming! I enjoy all the seasons, and I agree, I think each one lends hope for the next one!

  5. No crocuses yet, but the fields are greening up a bit and I did notice some plant life popping up on her building lot last week. :)

  6. It sounds promising...and I guess that's what spring is about.
