time.

Be encouraged today. The days are getting longer. Spring will be here soon. The gardens will bloom again. The earth will wake up from its winter slumber. Not too much longer.

No matter what, Rhondi, spring eventually comes! I remember that from my many years in Michigan. The buds on bushes and shoots coming up. Forsythia. So many flowers to love and then getting the porch ready for summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I like fall in Michigan better now that I live in Florida; the chill in the air, the glowing trees. I try to get up there every fall.

Hello dear Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteYour sweet little comment disappeared in my archive and I found it again today, sorry! Thank you for commenting and how sweet you still use my little gifts! I hope you are o.k. It's a joy to read your blog again. Thanks for your encouraging words of this entry, I could use it ...
Take care & hopefully 'till we meet again'?!
Big hugs, Carolien
I love this post Rhondi!
ReplyDeleteI copied the words and I am going to write them on the blackboard wall by my back door so I see them all the time:>)
I was sitting on the sofa all groggy this morning and at 7:00 I looked out and saw it was getting light. I was so happy! Unlike you I don't like getting up in the dark. I love the early morning sunshine waking me in the summer months, it makes me happy first thing! I turned to Earl, noted the rising sun and we gave each other a high five. He knows how much it means to me to have sunshine inthe morning:>) Spring is creeping up on us. I feel so happey about that, even though there are big fat snowflakes falling today!
Beautiful words and quote, Rhondi. I'm so looking forward to spring.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna

Too true, Rhondi. We shouldn't take any of those words for granted.
