Bird Song
It’s the middle of winter, and yet I’m starting to wake up to the sunshine, and to the sound of birds chirping in the bare trees. It gives me a great feeling – to know that warmth and greenery is coming. The days are getting longer, which I love, because in the northeast, days get shorter than they do in the midwest. No more getting dark at 3:30 in the afternoon. It’s still light, and it’s almost 5:30.

Those Little Moments
“We need so little to feel loved; all we need to do is begin to notice the multitude of tiny gifts and small miracles that punctuate each day we are alive.” –Wayne Muller
To me – this is what Blue Moments are. They are the peaceful, pure happy moments that punctuate every day.
Yesterday, my bluest moment was hugging my sister. She’s visiting from Michigan, my family’s home, for business. I was only able to see her for one day on her visit, and I was happy as I hugged her goodbye. It was dark, cold, and some snow was spitting out of the sky, and we’d just gone to dinner, and for drinks. It’s a good day when I can see and laugh with my little sister.
