TODAY I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO RECEIVE MY SPRING SWAP FROM MY SECRET SWAP SISTER....DEBBIE IN NEW YORK!!!! WHAT BEAUTIFUL "SPRING" THINGS I RECEIVED. COASTERS, T-TOWEL, PINCUSHION AND LOTS MORE!! IT FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS IN APRIL!!!!
WEATHER HERE IS FINALLY GETTING WARMER, SO AM BACK AT WALKING MY "OREO" AFTER DINNER AND IT FEELS SOOOOO GOOD! MY NEIGHBOR'S DAFFODILS HAVE ERUPTED AND THEIR COLOR IS SO BEAUTIFUL! MY DAY LILIES ARE STARTING TO PEEK OUT OF THE DIRT, SO AM ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THEIR ARRIVAL. ISN'T IT FUNNY THAT LITTLE SURPRISES CAN MAKE YOU SO HAPPY?
SPRING IS SUCH A GREAT TIME WHEN ALL OF NATURE SEEMS TO START OUT WITH A CLEAN SLATE! I WISH HUMANS COULD DO THAT EACH SPRING, WOULDN'T THAT BE SO COOL? JUST WIPE CLEAN ALL THE MISTAKES YOU MADE THE PREVIOUS YEAR AND START NEW. MAYBE I SHOULD TRY THAT...MAYBE THAT IS WHY GOD GAVE US SPRING. TO HAVE NEW OUTLOOKS, SEE PAST PEOPLES IMPERFECTIONS, SEE PAST OUR IMPERFECTIONS, CHANGE BEHAVIOR (LIKE GAINING PATIENCE), OH THAT WOULD BE A GREAT ONE FOR ME! BE KINDER TO ONE ANOTHER, LAUGH MORE, PRAY MORE! APPRECIATE EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN GIVEN, MORE! MAYBE I WILL MARK MY CALENDAR (AS OF TODAY) TO START "MY" SPRING CLEANING... YEAH, I THINK THAT WOULD BE A REALLY GOOD THING TO DO! AFTER ALL, YOU GOTTA START SOMEWHERE...
LOTS OF HUGS TO EVERYONE WHO READS THIS BLOG....AND A SPECIAL "THANK-YOU" TO DEBBIE IN NY...YOU BRIGHTENED UP MY DAY WITH ALL YOUR "SPRING" SURPRISES!
