These days of Winter wrap around me like a cocoon...it's cold and foggy this morning. My hands are warmed by my coffee cup and my heart is warmed through thoughts of the past. I've been writing in the kid's journals-something I have done since they were in the womb...one for each child...my thoughts on life, love, happiness. They will get a kick out of them someday, because they are filled with stories that mark their own lives...changes, relationships, accomplishments. They will be able to see things through my eyes, something I don't think they would appreciate right now, but someday they might. By mid-day I hope to wander out into the garden and begin pulling some of Winter's debris from the underbrush. The winds and rain have left everything coated in brown and I know once I peel back these layers there will be hardy little shoots of green, the promise of new beginnings. By working in the garden maybe this Winter cocoon won't feel as tight as it does right now. I am so ready for Spring in a multitude of ways.

It feels like Spring here, blue skies, balmy weather, gorgeous...I was ready for it though...having said that I do love fog, I find it mysterious and I always feel like I'm in a Sherlock Holmes novel, lol.
I LOVE the idea of journaling for your children, that is a gorgeous idea...I might just implement that myself.
Hugs.
