These are great, Kay!! Spring is HERE in Ohio and even if it’s raining (it is mostly raining), it is a great day to get out and notice the weather.

Yay! That is so awesome, Krista! It can be so cozy and relaxing to have a rainy day...all the little green leaves are finally popping on trees and shrubs, really brightens my day. Thanks for "stopping by!!" :))

Thank you for the shout-out, Kay! 💛 Three things I am grateful for right now:

1) longer daylight hours

2) that the plum tree my husband planted last year is still alive and flowering

3) for the writing community on Substack; I keep saying this, but it reminds me of being in poetry workshops again, which I love.

Beautiful, Margaret! The plum tree makes me think of William Carlos Williams’ poem was to his wife Flossy “This Is Just to Say” - do you know that one? 🌸

Yes! But it's been years so I went to read it again. It makes me laugh 😊.

Good morning Kay! These affirmations are particularly lovely this morning. And the weather is gorgeous here today (after an early morning thunderstorm!)

Good morning, Dr. Amber! I'm so glad you liked these affirmations. We also had a thunder and lightning storm last night as we were putting the kids to bed. After the thunder calmed down, the rain was soothing and they fell asleep quickly! Hope you have a beautiful week my friend. :))

It's supposed to be 75 and ☀️ in NJ today, so I am definitely going to try to sneak out in between meetings at some point to notice the weather, per your advice!

Aw yay! I am also in New Jersey, Christine! Driving to work today I rolled the windows down, and anytime I was at a red light I noticed the birdsong. :) Hope you have a great week! Thanks for commenting.

I didn't realize you were also in NJ (or maybe I did and forgot, that could also be true 🤣)! Whereabouts? I live in Hunterdon County and work in New Brunswick.
