This morning I realized a couple of things. One is that it is getting daylight earlier than it was, which means that it’s also getting darker later. The days are getting longer, and that’s a sure sign that spring is on the way.
I also was thrilled to wake up and look out the window and see something other than grey skies. I saw blue, and sunshine. It was an instant mood lifter and actually made me want to get out of bed instead of lounging.
I sleep with the curtains open because I like to see outside when I’m lying in bed. The window covers one wall, and it’s beautiful on clear evenings to watch the stars, and also on nights when it’s storming to watch the lightening and hear the rain pelt against the window pane.
I have a lot on my mind this evening. After receiving the news that someone I knew a long time ago passed away last night, I’m feeling a great sadness for those left behind. I know she’s in a better place but it doesn’t make it any easier for those who loved her.
Life is so fragile. Make each and every moment count.
