This is my favorite time of year. I love the longer days, the warmth of more sunshine than we've seen in months, and all the brilliant colors popping everywhere to signal new life. The sweet sound of birds chirping all day and the loud chorus of frogs after dark make me smile more times than I can count. It's crazy how a season can have such a powerful impact on the way we feel, but it does.
Last week I was consumed with grief over the loss of a dear friend. A friend who was like an aunt to me, and someone I will miss forever. As I witness the vibrant glory all around me, I feel her gracious spirit. I see her smile in the cherry blossoms, I hear her laugh when the humming birds buzz by, I feel her grace as delicate flowers poke their heads through soil, and I see the twinkle in her eyes through the stars above.
Even in sadness, we can find joy.
With that happy thought, I will leave you with the song that is stuck in my head:
I Believe in Angels by ABBA.
I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I have a dream, a fantasy To help me through reality And my destination makes it worth the while Pushing through the darkness still another mile I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
I have a dream, a song to sing To help me cope with anything If you see the wonder of a fairy tale You can take the future even if you fail I believe in angels Something good in everything I see I believe in angels When I know the time is right for me I'll cross the stream, I have a dream I'll cross the stream, I have a dream
Have a wonderful weekend and be happy!
