What an amazing day…this is…such an amazing day. Maybe it’s living in and loving so much this springtime time in Atlanta. It’s one of the chamber of commerce days (as Dad used to say). God’s unique colors blending together to create such a life-renewing canvas. Maybe it’s feeling healthy for the first time in months (maybe years) and having my eyes and ears and even my spirit open so thankfully…this day. [Yes, I am aware of the pollen count sky-rocketing with {literally} each breath, yes I am…and yet…] What an amazing day. It is a remarkable time to be alive. And these past weeks have made me most aware of the truth of that. I’m aware of the privilege of my life and the preciousness of the living of it. I am grateful for all the prayers that believed me through this long winter into spring. I am so grateful for the support of friends and family, who helped breathe new life into me. I am so very grateful for the wisdom and kindness of the nurses and doctors throughout this time. So very, very grateful. Took some pictures walking home from my Saturday church in Booth 25 with my sisters (thanks S & K & E). Wanted to share them. Blessings and patience to friends in the north-country who are still enduring this long winter not yet into springtime. Wanted to share just a couple of the moments of color and faith-hope-love that walk with us along the way. And wanted to say thank you, thank you, thank you for this amazing day.

Your words are a balm to my still-cold-and-a-wee-dreary-in-the-PNW soul. Much love to you and yours, dear one.
