And I have to keep reminding myself of that! With help of course from others and their insiteful blogs. I haven't taken the time to step outside and be IN Mother Nature for months and months. I think I stopped once at the beginning of March to notice the little buds starting on the Lilac, and that was only because I walked out to get the mail. Usually in the past I sit on the porch with a warm cup of coffee and watch the stark branches of the Oaks swaying, sometimes enjoying the antics of the squirrels high up in them as they go about their business, or walk among the pines and listen to their whispers; enjoy their scent and ever and always green colours among all the white snow, but this winter I haven't ventured out at all. I don't know if it's the cabin fever from such a long winter or just sheer laziness on my part but I am determined to stop hibernating so much and get myself back into positive endeavors. I've kept telling myself that I'll get busy when the weather warms up, or when the days aren't so busy, or when the weekends slow down. HA! as if that'll happen... Nope, I'm going to have to be a little more proactive than that and block out time for nature and nurture, for myself and my family. Wish me luck! And thank you to Tala Rivka for her inspiring words (and hen story). It's reminded me of my duties and of what I need to be grateful for.

Have a Blessed Spring!
