April showers bring May flowers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

creeping myrtle\/Periwinkle
\ntulips<\/p>\n

These are presently showing up in our yard. I’m enjoying them when I can.<\/p>\n

The creeping Myrtle\/periwinkle has made lovely covering in my garden area and around the bushes in the front of the house.<\/p>\n

Tulips opened in the warmth of the sun with their bright colors and beautiful centers with yellow and black.<\/p>\n

Bright moments in life. Their growth and expansion gives such joy.
\nAnd yet they only bloom for a time.<\/p>\n

I’ve been pondering life at times. At this point in my life I look for the little joys and bits of love that may carry me through any tough times.
\nIt has been said that Love is present where ever one should be.<\/p>\n

A passage I read mentions “..that love doesn’t die, ( though death is a part of life). .. and “To give love away”.
\n“hand touching hand”
\n“a smile to a stranger”<\/p>\n

When I look at the flowers I see something bright. A natural creation that brings happiness for a moment.<\/p>\n

Be present and share those moments with others.<\/p>\n
