This weekend was beautiful! I put gloved fingers into dirt that’s been covered with little weeds and pine straw right outside my living room window for months now. My longing to drive to Home Depot and buy fat, green plants was squashed by fear. Will this nice weather last? It’s too good to be true-I think. So, I just relished in the warm sunlight and tucked the new plants away in my mind for another, future weekend.

My oldest son will be graduating from high school in a little more than two months. The joy and sadness that this event will bring is becoming more tangible with each passing day. I watch him walk through the garage door and into our kitchen daily, knowing these trivial moments are fleeting. One day, very soon, his empty chip wrappers won’t crowd our computer table. I can hardly let myself go much further than that. Please forgive me for droning on, but the time change grabbed me today. One less hour with him. One less hour to do anything, really. Should this make me feel motivated to be even more intentional with my time? I think yes, it should! Or do I simply retrieve that hour back in the fall….

Life, it’s always changing. I think that’s what makes it beautiful. On the day my son graduates, my tears will be beautiful. His smile will be beautiful. Make this week beautiful my dear readers, it’s one hour shorter-but just as likely to hold both smiles and tears.

As the month of March looms ahead of us, I am happy to report spring or Indian spring has arrived in Alabama. I spent the weekend listening to podcasts from a Get Published author’s summit and have lots of new ideas buzzing about in my noggin. I also want to screen in my back porch, rip out the carpet in my master bedroom closet (new puppy potty problems) and spend more time on my Peloton. So, I will just clone myself I guess… or see how it all shakes out. Honestly, I’m happy to have so many things to think about and plan for. The alternative might not be as fun. I’ve posted new content now for a third week in a row and that makes me happy. I am always thinking of you, my readers, my followers and wondering what your lives are like. On a side note, I finished The Authenticity Project by Clare Pooley. It was amazing, I totally recommend. The ending was unexpected and I’ve googled about it to get other’s perspectives. If you happen to read, please leave me a comment letting me know what you thought. Enjoy the first day of Lucky March, everyone!
