Spring Songs
take a walk with me
oh what sights we’ll see
daffodils, redbuds and tulips
bring smiles to my lips
~
the birds are singing
my heart is ringing
such glories abound
my gratitude profound
~
why do we wait for joy
we don’t have to be coy
choice is the key
for happiness to be
~
The first two photos are from my yard. Then next two are from our lovely downtown square where we have our farmers market which starts this weekend! It is easy to be joyful with the arrival of spring. Yet the gratitude in my heart reminds me that we can choose to be open and alive, singing with joy regardless of the season or circumstances. 
May your heart be joyful!
