I just don’t think I’m looking for the big moments in life anymore. It’s more the simple ones that make for a beautiful day now. Like the sun rising and the moon dancing and the wind singing and the leaves grooving, and kids laughing and music playing, butterflies twirling, heart-smiles staying … and me being present to witness all these little beautiful things. This is what makes for a happy and peaceful life, I’m sure.

March is full of doctor appointments and rain. Both making it hard for me to focus on much else. By month’s end however, things began to turn around. Health issues are figured out and the robins return to eat worms and splash in the birdbath. We check out puzzles from the library, and Percy and I take up coloring in those fancy coloring books. The cherry blossoms take off and I find simple moments taking up space within me. All of this awakening a peacefulness within me that has been absent for so long.
I grab hold of it all.
