9 of 52 [08-09]


I had two ideas this week--Either I was going to draw a tiny sad face on a blank piece of white paper, and take an out-of-focus picture of it, or I was going to try and find a flower blooming in the neighborhood after a week of gorgeous weather. Clearly, I've been feeling simultaneously conflicting feelings this week...sometimes, elated with the thought of warmer weather and longer days, and sometimes--well--just flat out sad to be leaving a familiar job and a familiar house. Walking around today, the flower won. :) My camera battery was low, so I only was able to take this one photo. But, I loved the orange/purple combo especially among the leftover "brown" of winter. Almost 10 weeks in...Can you believe it?

woa.....now there is a statement to the assurance that spring will always return!!!!

grand capture, christi dear!!!! doesn't that tulip just make you smile?! i love, love, love it's crispness against the remains of winter.........

sweetie, i can imagine the mixed bag of feelings that these coming weeks will bring..........you're feeling it all, for one, because you purpose to so fully live your life!

isn't it interesting how some of our creations/sights externally simultaneously reflect our insides without us necessarily setting out to make that connection? ie...i didn't go looking for a stop light with the wait hand lit but rather, that happened to be what caught my eye, in the moment i had, along the theme of stacking and yet when chosen......wow, was that where my life is!!!! i love all that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am sooooooooo glad that the flower won out!!!!!
