Oh, I could get used to this wonderful sunshine with only a slight breeze. There is hope that we will have green grass and flowers again. For a little while, I had my doubts. Of course, we have to go through the wet, muddy phase. But, if you are able to pick where you walk, it’s not too bad. I considered getting my rain boots out, but I thought my feet would get too cold in them.

My 44th birthday was at the end of December and I remember waking up and thinking, “Wow, I am middle-aged. If I have half of my life left, how do I want to spend it? What should I be doing with my time?” It is easy to look at others, make comparisons, and start wondering if I’ve done enough or if it’s good enough.
