I need some Spring and I need it now!!!


I know this sounds kind of crazy for someone who lives in beautiful Teton Valley, because Spring is not going to happen soon, but all I'm asking for is a glimpse of a few blades of grass, maybe a little dandelion in the crack of a sidewalk. I guess I really am just asking for some hope! I love the snow, it is so beautiful when it first falls and covers everything, but I am looking for a change. Maybe that is my problem, I haven't learned to appreciate the here and now as much as I should. I heard a quote recently that sums up what I need to be feeling, "In between the disasters is where you find joy!" So I am going to challenge myself to try to live in the moment, to appreciate where I am now, to enjoy the rest of the winter, to learn to love myself as I am, to place my hand in the Saviors and allow him to direct my path, instead of trying to run ahead and see beyond the here and now. So heres to finding joy in the moment, to learning to love the hard stuff, to relishing the challenges. But in the meantime, I am still going to be looking for those blades of grass.
