Beginnings and Endings
I find myself somewhat discouraged on this May morning. One of the core reasons I began this site was to bring emphasis on making my life simpler. I know that “simplify” is a catch all, perhaps even trendy, word at present, but for me, it holds substance and has history for I am in constant pursuit of its’ illusive meaning. Unfortunately, it seems since I began, its’ meaning and time have alluded me; I suppose I am not doing so well thus far. I do a monthly column for our local newspaper, The Daily Iberian, and it is due tomorrow before 4, so I have written that, but I have not tended to this blog - this collection of words and thoughts that are so important to me. In an effort to do something towards my goal, I am posting a little photo from my backyard that I took last night. It is a visual on the collision of early spring and soon to be summer – the sweetpea and the gardenia. I am sad to say that these coral sweeties are the last of the season, but happy to have picked the first gardenia yesterday evening. It is currently sitting coyly on my counter adding fragrance to my kitchen and making me happy, for once again, it is spring.
Till next time,
p.s.
