Seventy-Five percent. I realize that I spend the winter months moaning and groaning about the cold and always have my eyes cast to the promise of Spring. That's about Twenty-Five percent of my year not really being present in my life. In grading percentile that is about a C I am giving my life. YeeGads! As a student getting good grades was something I always worked toward. Went to class, did my studies, finished my homework, did extra credit, that was then not now. How much more meaningful my days would be if I applied myself everyday, take action on that what mattered most to me. I read a quote the other day "Bloom where you are planted" so maybe I can't bloom during the Winter's cold, but I can feed my roots and tend my soil. Already we have about an hour more of daylight, just enough to start sending tender sprouts up. I can get behind that promise.

I too can waste a lot of energy lamenting what is instead of looking for the joy and beauty I can appreciate.

DeleteI have tried to appreciate more about Winter, have not done so well. Well, still 4 or 5 more weeks of coldness here, so still some time to work on a Winter's lesson plan.
get your quilt out and a good book. We yam what we yam.
