Choosing to focus
On the daffodils dancing
Instead of the News

Our Choice
Another report!
Each day the news is bringing
Fear into our hearts.
Do we allow the fear to dwell
Or choose to overcome it?

March’s Admonition
“Wake up!
Oh sleepy head!
Time is marching forward,
But your body clock is an hour
Behind!”

Can Do Attitude
I can,
You can, we can
Banish the can’t thinking
Never let that apostrophe
Control

Perspective
Looking
At daily life
From every angle
Keeps negativity away
Try it

Spring Sights, Sounds and Smells
Green shoots popping up,
Patches of yellow abound,
Spring has come again!
Haiku
I felt like Chicken Little today as everywhere I went I kept saying “ Spring is here! Spring is here!”
It may not say Spring yet on the calendar but it was very present all around my area today.
I was seeing patches of yellow daffodils in my neighbors yards and green shoots of more to come soon, hearing birds singing and lawnmowers humming, smelling fresh cut grass and enjoying the bright sunshine! What a delightful change from the damp, dark, cold days of winter!
Yes, Spring weather is here and I am enjoying every moment of it!
Changes
It was
And now its not
Change happens so quickly
In the blink of an eye, things change
So quickly

Our Guiding Light
God’s word
Illuminates
Our life as a beacon
It guides and inspires daily
Read it
Cinquain
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
Judge Not—There’s A Time for Everything
The excited butterfly
Shouted at his friend below:
“Fly! Reach for the sky!”
“My time has not yet come”
Said the waiting caterpillar.
Tanka
In its own appointed time, eventually every caterpillar will fly, for it will transform into either a butterfly or a moth.
Perhaps that is the same timing for some people, therefore we should not judge.
To everything there is a season,
A time for every purpose under heaven:…
Eccl. 3:1
In Bethlehem
The hustle and bustle
On the city sidewalks
Disappears from view
As the two weary travelers
Seek shelter in a stable
Tanka
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7
