March

I can't believe it's March already. I just returned, what seems just a few days ago from Montana, to surprise my mom for her 62nd birthday! Montana was so much fun! I surprised my mom the day before her birthday, with a basket of flowers that told her I was coming the next day. Then I drove from sunny, green Seattle to dry, brown Missoula...but one good thing is that the sunshine followed me. I just couldn't get it to follow me back! Hmmm.

I was able to spend great time with LeeAnn Pohlman, Kylie Barnes and dear sweet smiling Cora (her gorgeous daughter) and then had girls night with Jess and Rach. These women, and a couple others that I didn't have time to see, bring life to Missoula for me. Not to mention my dear parents. It's always so good to go home...but so sweet to return to Seattle. I wish I could bring them home with me.   :)

But now I'm back in my beloved Seattle and it's spring here!!! Everything is always green to a certain extent but now everything is vibrant green! And pink. And white. And red. The trees are in full bloom with every color of flower and new green buds that are starting to unfurl into vibrant leaves. The "easter egg" tree behind my apartment is full of pink easter-egg shaped, and sized, flowers. It greets me every morning as I wake up. I will say, my heart is full of life and green things...new beginnings and buds of life for the future. I can feel the winter melting away, the smell of spring and the warmth of the sun kiss my face and my heart. I caught myself giggling relentlessly last night and couldn't stop laughing at a random act of silliness.


Today was such a fabulous day. I slept in, had a great 6 mile walk around Green Lake in the wonderful sunshine, a veggie lunch and then I went and hit tennis balls to practice my serve and then had a much needed massage. And now, blogging. I think I'll hop in the shower and hit the hay! C'est La Vie!
