Spring is blooming in my soul

Snow walls are fading as sunshine beams its energy through the clouds to me...finally!  Feel like spring...almost.  The cardinals and nuthatches are at the bird feeder outside my kitchen window; the stars in the early morning sky are finally visible through the past week's clouds of gray, and puddles are forming on my sidewalk.  We need to construct a moat to enter the house as the puddles keep enlarging; the accesible path to the front door keep shrinking. 

Pussywillows must be budding in the woods.  Sprouts of vague greeness appear in the gardens where the snow has receeded.   Seed catalogue will be appearing in my mailbox.  My geraniums in the garden window are blooming profusely with red and fuchia blossoms and the begonia plant is outperforming her yearly solo of cascading blooms in the east windows receiving full-blasts of sunshine!

Happy times are back!  Spring is blooming in my soul!

appreciation, "used", take advantage

This morning I'm upset about feeling taken advantage of ....not acknowledged. It takes so little to show appreciation for one's efforts, to celebrate the success of another, and to make another feel good. Why do few people tells others how important they are in other's lives? Why not share the success of someone's work?
