Spring is here!!!

The long winter's nap is over and I'm ready for Spring! I can see the Bradford Pear tree
buds opening on the tree in our yard, along with various flowers coming up, plus the grass
is already growing and it will soon be time for yardwork. Wesley's allergy started last week,
so I know that Spring is coming into bloom!

I get excited this time of year when the weather starts warming up and I can sit on the
screened-in porch again... relaxing, reading and drinking a cup of coffee. It only takes a
few little things to enjoy the comforts of home and life in general.

Lately, I've been reading the much talked about book called "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle.
It has opened my eyes to look beyond that voice in the head that does all the non-stop
talking. There is an observer behind that voice that shuts down what the ego wants to
complain about. I think he might be on to something and I am trying this out in my own
life. It's an interesting approach to living a more blessed than stressed life!!

Everyone has to find their own way in the world and so many people seem to be searching
for their purpose and real peace of mind. I don't claim to have answers, but like everyone
else I keep doing what I can to live a good life. Going beyond label identities for myself and
for others takes recognition and observation. That in itself is the moment of reality that
breaks through all the old thought patterns. I need more practice, but I think it might
help make life more stress free overall. Whatever works for anyone is their answer...

"Happy Spring!"
