COUNTING IT ALL JOY!
April showers bring May flowers!
Each bloom a new birth
Waiting to spread her beauty
Ready to weave their rich color
Through the fabric of life
Hand woven through
The promise
Of new beginnings
Waiting to spread their aroma of life
Each strand of color
Richly hand picked
To tell a love story
Each their own
A story of life
Rich in beauty
For all to behold
Uniquely made
One by one
A perfect bud
Awaiting to share its rare beauty
A glance at the rich single blossom
Brings an enchanted peace to the eye of the beholder
As it shares its rich rare beauty
Of color
Into the fabric of life
Each single blossom
Brings sweet fragrant
New beginnings
Of life

April 3~ Good Morning! Wondering who has stolen the Yellow fire ball in the sky! Or has someone confused the seasons! Has the ransom fees not been paid? Not sure what is going on here. And the worst part is I'm COLD! Feels like I should be wrapped up for Winter instead of Spring. Think I could stay in my warm cozy bed all day. But I must rise and shine and find the sunshine in the day. First I will get that pot of coffee going. I will need that to warm my insides this morning. Then I will get this day on track and find some wonderful treasures in the day to be thankful for. As I'm sure the day will be stocked full of them; as it usually is.

April 4~ Early Good morning! Still searching for Spring and the yellow fire ball in the sky. Finding grey skies, some liquid sunshine that brings those May flowers. Feeling a little lost and cheated. Who is holding my fire ball hostage? Well....no time to search....as I need to get ready to go create a beautiful smile of beauty; that will bring sunshine into this grey gloomy day.
