It is a hazy, foggy
morning as I watch with great anticipation for the Sun to arrive. After several
cloudy, gray days it will be good to see clear, blue skies. At least, that is
what the local meteorologist reported last evening, we shall see if that is true
today. Either way, spring is beginning
to warm the days and the yard around my home is calling to me to get outside.
While I have done my best to keep up with fallen tree branches, and gathered
eight leaf bags of debris last week, the emerging plants are heralding my
attention. I just may wait another couple of weeks to rake the leaves around these
tender growths that serve as a blanket during Indiana’s ever-changing
temperature swings!
I was at a local
store the other day and a young couple was eagerly examining various vegetable
plants from which to begin their garden. I nearly added my two cents worth of
insights by repeating the wives tale, about waiting until after Mother’s day to
plant. Surprisingly, I did not “offer” that advise, why dampen their obvious
eagerness to begin their garden season?
What a wonderful
time of year. Such anticipation for what lies ahead, it warms my heart. While I
do my best to stay in the moment, I so love the unknown anticipation of what is
coming. Even if it is not clear what that “something” is, it still offers a
mystery that feeds my spirit of “what if,” “perhaps, maybe,” or simply put,
Hope for what might be. There is much to be said about not knowing what
is just around the corner … it is yet another mystery of life!

Oh what a freeing moment, the ones that comes from the deepest part of our heart, makes the most lasting changes in ourselves.
