Good morning my DU family,

I hope your day is lifted with moments that stop you in your tracks and give you the opportunity to experience the miracles that we are blessed with every day if only we noticed them.
May yours touch the deepest part of your soul.
Love, John

Yes, in a way it will be…planting potatoes today…bringing the miracle of life to the light with learned patience and determination. Growing stuff is a moving meditation.

8. I moved to a new home last Oct. and am thrilled at all the new unknown plants that are growing here.

They are little everyday miracles to me! Unbeknownst to me when we bought the house, we have big beds of Amaryllis (3 kinds) and Day Lillies - 2 kinds so far but the first flower just opened of the small red variety. I have much larger ones that I believe will have yellow or orangish flowers but don't know yet. There are also 3 plants that I believe are gardenias that have buds and some that I think might be chrysanthemums but waiting for them to bloom to know for sure.

Taking joy from wherever you can find it is the way to go and enriches the soul! This is so needed during these externally dark and darkening days.

Beauty and love are all around us. Each of us should beg for the gift of the eyesight that is connected to our soul so that we may see more than color or form, so we can see love and miracles.
Like the confirmation that this home is perfect for you in her gifts of flowers that you will cherish beyond most.
Thanks for the great visual Lark.

I see that today’s SalmonChantedEvening’s Sunday LOLcats is called the “Butterfy Child Edition.” 🦋
I love the photo of the Child/Butterfly shadow on the sidewalk. Amazing!!!

So much symbolism to make a good day even better.

I pray your day is spectacular, John.

19. It's a slow recovery for Apollo after the extensive surgery on her thigh.

Ajax keeps asking, “Why can’t Apollo play?”
And me? I’m tough. 💪

Thanks for asking, John. How are you doing today?

Every morning starts with a miracle, when my kitties greet me. The love of an animal is a Gift!
