The Promise of Spring

Ever-so-patiently waiting for spring . . . in single digit temperatures what else can we do? We know the promise of spring - the daffodils peeking up through the damp fall leaves, the green tree buds tentatively pushing their way out, the short days of winter beginning to lengthen . . . Spring will come. But now, today, we'll bundle up, light the fire, and count our blessings: we are warm, we are safe, we have each other. And that is enough. In fact, that is everything we need.
