Tomorrow is the first day of May. It's a rainy windy end to April here. There are intentional daffodils blooming in the yard for the first time ~ I planted bulbs last fall.
Fifteen years ago I started this blog. Officially I started it in March with a brief post. My idea was to connect with family and friends who live elsewhere. That worked to some extent. An unexpected benefit was the connection with other bloggers, some of whom I still keep in touch with, although not all through blogging these days.
I am not ready to give up blogging. I just want to figure out how to write about what I am thinking about now.
It has been a rough couple of months ~ lots of feelings around the loss of my mom and how to reframe how I think about that. I haven't yet celebrated her life. Next weekend there will be time with my children and grandchildren to remember her, a simple informal gathering to share whatever comes to mind. I have gathered a few photos. I want to keep things open and easy.
There is more to write about. There is more to come.
The journey continues....

Good to hear from you.

A poem came up on my twitter feed this week that caught my eye.
I've committed it to memory as it reflects my point of view in words I could never have come up with myself.
Its by Lemn Sissay. His Wikipedia page tells a harrowing story of pressured adoption, fostering then abandonment and how sheer strength of character brought him to adulthood and success as a poet and now Chancellor of a university here in the UK.
"How do you do it?" said night
"How do you wake and shine?"
"I keep it simple." said light
"One day at a time"
