Great article and analogy. Let's hear it for the bluebells. I will say your morning walk may be more joyful if you check your social media and news feeds after your walk versus before it:)

Thank you Manuel! Nature teaches us not to give up hope. Here, peeking through the snow are some crocuses and small stems of tulips. We need messenger of hope such as you in these chaotic and dark times. Enjoy the bluebells!

We must keep hope and joy alive always. Enjoy the crocuses, Yvonne.. 🙏🏻

Oh I've always wanted to see the bluebonnets. Is this in TX, Manuel?

Here is a field of them some years back. Enjoy!

Thank you another balancing appreciation. They can't take that away. And it is nourishment to make us stronger, tougher.

Just now I covered tiny green shoots of snap peas - 25 degrees tonight. But soon they will be climbing and producing. The grandkids will eat them as they pick them.

Find our joys. There are many.
