Spring is on its way.............

For a little while today I sat out on the bench on the back deck and felt actual warmth from the still wintry sun.   A perfect day!

Blue skies, candy floss clouds, and water drip, drip, dripping everywhere.  How wonderful to see the snow melting away.

And as I inhaled the peaceful beauty of my backyard my heart and my prayers wrapped themselves around the people of Japan.  

It's not easy to smile when so many are suffering insurmountable losses.

And life goes on ...........
