A little white surprise…

This week in my yard a tiny little white snow drop flower budded out announcing that spring is right around the corner. I also see crocus coming up and the very tops of my daffodils are protruding above the ground! The earth is very slowly beginning to come alive once more.

Generally, I get pretty excited when I see the first flowers making their debut! It means we’ve all survived yet another winter. I appreciate the sunshine, color and warmth these early arrivals bring. They see me through the rest of what Mother Nature brings us as winter winds itself down and out. There is hope.

Nothing is forever or stays the same.

When we see tragedies unfolding as they all too often do these days we can use it as a reminder to be grateful for all that we have in this one very moment. We never do know what a day will bring do we?

Each day unfolds as it does. We can make gratitude be a constant in a sea of constant change.

We can ride out all the winters that living brings our way by observing the hints of spring that each day offers us too. And relish in the fresh awareness that gratitude brings.

Just what are you grateful for today?
