May the transformation of Spring
Bring you what you long for
May your inner being bloom
As beautifully as the flowers
Growing wildly outside in nature
May your thoughts be fresh and crisp
Like the air after a Spring rain
May you find new meaning in life
More vibrancy
More energy
May you take that step
You need to take
To enjoy your life
In this month of May

Some mornings the sunrise plays peek-a-boo with me.
The Lago Vista hills are the perfect play-ground for this game. Thursday morning on my drive to work the sun kept peeking out but didn’t let me fully see it until I reached my office door and was about to go in. At that moment I turned one last time and the sun revealed it’s full beauty as it crested the hill across the street. We had a glorious moment together and I basked in its wonder. Amazed again at how much the Creator of all things created all things to play and experience pure joy.

Drugs ruin
Alcohol ruins
Political stance ruins
A closed mind ruins
Religiousness ruins
The ruin is a hardened heart
Eyes that don’t see
Ears that don’t hear
A tongue that speaks froward things
But I still hold onto hope
Hope that the drug addict will be
Completely healed
Hope the alcoholic will overcome the urge
Hope political stances find common ground
Hope that closed minds will be opened
Hope that religiousness will give way
To the truth
Of unconditional love
From God
Who dwells within us all
If we believe

Got my rose colored glasses on
Ignoring my sore muscles from
Weight training week one
Ignoring my scale
Trying to anyway
Chilling on my sofa chewing kale
The pain will get easier
The scale will get lighter
The kale will get swallowed
Patience girl
Patience
Just show up for yourself
Every day

Beauty can show up in the smallest packages as we walk through life. A few weeks ago, just before the countryside became peppered with wildflowers, this tiny bloom screamed loud enough for my soul to hear it. This tiny bloom was so full of energy it would not, could not, be ignored. I was walking along lost in thought when it caught my eye and reminded me to push pause on my overactive mind. Nature is filled with beautiful finds, even on a neighborhood roadside walk, if we broaden our observation and quiet our mind.

Longhorns in bluebonnets
Techies, artists, keep it weird
As live music plays

True story, happened this evening in the grocery store:
Store clerk: “I need to see your Drivers License”
Me: “Is that some new requirement?”
Store clerk: looks at me with a quizzical expression
Me: “Why do you need to see my drivers license?”
Store Clerk: holds up my bottle of olive oil
Me: “So….identification is now needed to buy a bottle of olive oil?!”
Store clerk: looks at the bottle and stammers “ I thought it was wine”
Me: “Well that’s a relief. I thought my conspiracy theory was being proved.”
We both chuckled and I was allowed to leave with my bottle of Colavita.

Event happened and note written 4/8/2019
Down
Up
Down
Up
Yo-yoing along
So very tired of fighting
This battle with the scale
Maybe I’ll just let
The weight stay on

She never shook the stars from their appointed courses, But she loved good men, And she rode good horses. ~ Margot Liberty
Sometimes you make me happy
Sometimes you make me blue
Up or down
Why is my self worth so tied to you
First thing in the morning
Nothing on but an anxious stare
What number
Will I find waiting there
There’s nothing quite like
The pressure that plays
Around in my brain on
Weigh-in days
