This morning I’m reading about gardens
and looking at early signs of spring
springing up
in other places
I am relishing even a small bit of time
with my love
and
sunshine
(I’m liking that too)
this time last year
we had only just begun
the shutting down
now openings and closings
feel a bit like
old hat
where somehow, you know
we
muddle through
still
even the early signs
make this waning season
feel
somewhat more hopeful
don’t they
like shedding a layer
extra blankets and stuff,
of clothing for sure
but of fear
of uncertainty
not to say that we are through all of this
but
like a long winter
we have after all… made it thus far
haven’t we
so today, I guess I’m filling up on
hopeful things
like little green sprouts,
plans for more colour
in the garden
like sunshine
and like
love
like really good reasons for
gratitude
as well today
in hope-filled things
and
just for good measure
I am also… filling up
my pockets
with
magic beans ♥
