What we'll do

We'll keep thinking big.

We'll not only keep hoping-hoping-hoping, we'll quit wishing away time. We'll hatch escape plans and shake up our routines. We'll hold out for a good thing.

And we'll stop incessantly checking our email--we'll silence our cell phones and shut our computers. Instead, we'll take long walks and breathe in the lilacs. We'll tell stories. We'll dance and grow strong with push-ups. We'll trade sucking in our stomachs for big, belly laughs.

We'll broadcast wildflower seeds and eat crunchy apples. And we'll keep maturing. We'll resist turning disappointment into tragedy. We'll exercise curiosity, ask people questions and forgive them when they don't ask us.

That's what we'll do.

These stars remind me of medieval art.

I'm back.
I'm back to cooking and walking and reading and blogging.
Winter was hard but spring has come.
