In honor of my return to the Midwest and having experienced
my first full winter here in over 5 years, I thought it appropriate that I
spend that time in a sort of hibernation.
Similar to the rest of the civilized (rather uncivilized, I suppose)
animal kingdom up here. Although a fresh
blanket of snow still accumulates and continually covers the ground, it is the
month of March, and in just a few short days it will in fact be the official
beginning of spring. Considering the
time as appropriate, and beginning to feel that I am ready to awaken from my
winter doldrums, I can now proclaim that I am in hibernation mode no more!

| My wintery walk I took this morning. |
My book that I began with such fervor last fall has been
sitting collecting cyber dust as it lay untouched in my hard drive. Two days ago, with somewhat part trepidation
and part anticipation, I dusted it off and reopened my project so laden with
love. And I read. I read it in its entirety from beginning to
end. I laughed a bit. I shed a tear here and there. Being transported back to both such
wonderful, beautiful, and heart-breaking memories and moments. Once completed, I found myself quite
pleasantly surprised with what I read.
With what I had written.
My only hope is that others will benefit from it as much as
I did writing it. And living it. My only hope is that I might inspire
another. Bring them to laugh. Offer a different way to view life and the
challenges we face while living it.
My project is still no where near being finished, but I am
so pleased to have awoken it from its slumber.
It too, needed the time to rest.
Time to sit, time to be still. Time
to just be before further action is taken.
And the time for action begins now.
Happy spring and happy new beginnings!!
