First

Out of left field comes the obvious sign, little Robin redbreast greeting me at my brother’s. My weekend is set to be the best. True to form, campfire and drums, couldn’t be happier away from home. My nest at home is safely waiting for me and although divided for a mere moment, still in my pocket overflowing with love. Sometimes we wait too long for the extra piece of the puzzle that is always missing. That final piece fits so perfect and the completion is obviously a celebration. Away from home but still home, setting for a perfect visit.

Times like this are necessary and perfect for the end of hibernation. My cat kin are snuggled up to me and the rest of my recent extended family I get to see shortly. My brother and his family are always so gracious and I love the way it all fits into my life. After a work week, feels good to do something fun. This time of year the fun amps up. This time of year I will also chastise myself for not doing more in the winter. Although this winter I wasn’t a complete shut in, but I did find most nasty weather was on the weekends.

The talks and thoughts spill over and on, getting caught up in our journeys. We blend and mesh like forever friends. All of us together, regret of times missed, blame covid, blame winter, blame myself. Today is today, and it is what you can make out of it. Thankfully this is the time of year to hit the ground running. Forward motion is always better. Thank you spring❤️‍🩹
