Spring is here ...

SPRING IS HERE AND ALL THE BEAUTY IS AWAKENED!

Well, so much for my determination to be a better blogger... just like everything else it's hard to make the time, but once a month is an improvement for me, so I'll take my successes even if they are in small doses.

What's new, well lets see ... earlier in March my youngest daughter and I had the opportunity to visit my oldest daughter in beautiful San Diego. We had such a great time and enjoyed getting to see her new apartment. Wow! what an accomplishment, she's living all alone in her own place, has a lucrative job and enjoys the beach life as she is but steps away from the sand and surf! It's wonderful to watch your childrens lives unfold, it's so fulfilling!

I remember that someone once told me of a quote referring to giving our children wings, well I'm so grateful that my oldest daughters wings have landed her in a beautiful spot and even more grateful that the landing has been safe!

We enjoyed a wonderful Easter celebration with family and our son was able to join us. As he is the only one of our children who lives close by, he get's to be persuaded into tagging along to all the family functions, lucky kid! He never says that he would rather be anywhere else and smiles, laughs, hugs his mom and always says 'thanks, it was fun!' God Bless him for whether or not it is truly his idea of fun, he knows the way to warm his Mama's heart!

Early spring has brought longer days and the first flower of the blossoms ... I know that beauty lies inside everyday if you just look... and for me I just take a look at three smiles on three very special young adults ... and just like the beauty of the season ... it renews my spirit!
