Hope

Fresh

The air is fresher now. The breeze is blowing warmer.









My mind is clearer. My body lighter.







People are venturing outdoors. The world is inhabited again with smiling faces, dogs wagging their tails, children laughing.









Grey and brown are beginning to be replaced with green.











It is time for the first swing on a big girl swing. Time to learn how to ride a tricycle.









Time to laugh. Time to love. Time to grow.

A Taste of Spring

Today it was 58 degrees. On February 10th. In Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

This is the kind of weather you dream about all winter long. When its cold and snowy, you think to yourself that it will be warm. Someday. And that someday was today.

I am not naive enough to think that this will last. I know it will freeze again. I know it will snow again. But for now I will hold on to the feeling of warmth.
