Remembering I’m lucky.

When I take the time to remember and pause for a moment to notice, my life is overflowing with goodness. No matter where I am, who I wish I was or what I think I’m missing, I need to remember that…. truly, truly, truly I’m so very blessed and so very lucky.

Well hello, lovely.

Remember how Christian and I planted bunches of tulips all around our yard last fall? And, how they were starting to bud meaning that there was hope of spring in the future? Yeah, well they have grown and grown and eventually bloomed this past weekend… and much to my surprise, they weren’t tulips at all. Instead we have hoards of daffodils popping up out front and back. Not that I’m complaining because who can look at a daffodil and just not perk up. They have to be one of the happiest looking flowers that ever lived.

There’s Hope.

Christian and I planted 50 tulip bulbs around our yard last fall and they’re already starting to sprout! I can’t wait to see what they’ll look like since they were sort of tossed into random holes (cough, last minute) before the ground froze. These early buds may have something to do with the warm, warm weather we’ve been having, but, to me, it means only one thing: spring is on it’s way!
