Today's Question: "In What Ways is Life Trying to Get My Attention"

Life is trying to get my attention in so many ways, I'm not sure where to look. It's speaking to me in migraines, back pain, and sleepless nights. Pondering all that I need to do to get my house in order, vacillating between planning, action, and analysis paralysis.

It's also speaking to me in simple moments of hopefulness - the birdsongs as I put together my spring bulb planter garden, validating my efforts to cultivate beauty in the future. The small, random kindnesses of strangers, assuring me that there are lots of good people in the world. An unexpected, cosmic hug, reminds me that I am seen and appreciated. Moments like these come, like a tap on the shoulder saying "Hey you. Slow down. Take a breath. Do what you can. Keep going." 

And so, I continue.

Tomorrow's flowers

Starting off in the darkness

Grow toward the sun
