I love the sun on my face

To feel the breeze in my hair

To feel cool and happy as the day

It is so beautiful and bright

I stand so tall and confident as I allow

The sun to wash down on me today.

Keeping this moment of my time with the sun with me even as the sky turns dark.

I know that brightness will shine in me when my days are long and difficult.

Will you be gone

I haven’t had my full of hot chocolate and tea

But I’m done with your bitter coldness nipping at me as I go out into the night on my way to work.

Or as I come out of work and go home.

And even probably wrapped up I still feel you in my bones.

You have brought chaos this season with the snow and increased illnesses around.

It’s time you let us breathe the spring air and see the flowers again.

I know every season has its moment but I do think you are hogging the spotlight for a little too long.

So goodbye and I think I’ll skip you next year.

Share one of the best gifts you’ve ever received.

Best gifts I ever received?

I would have to say my projector as I can watch TV on it and with my Roku stick stream things as well.

Also I can hook up my iPhone and laptop and play things on the big screen and still be curled up on my bed.

It’s like having a private theater, where I can watch movies and enjoy some alone time now and then. And it’s nice when I can share and watch a movie with my family and have a good time.

Capture everything this time around

From the photos of everyone holding random objects.

Cut up photos to make collages and create art as simple as can be.

To paint like there’s no time to count down and there’s no worry if it’s good enough.

So light your candle and take notes in your little book and let’s get to creating for time has provided us some joy and peace.
