I was so excited this morning when out the window I saw on a far branch my winter friend robin redbreast! Too far for a picture, but just knowing that he – or his offspring – have returned was enough.
It also is the day my dad was born – a day for remembering what was: as a friend said, it’s in the past and we can’t go back, to which I replied, “yes, but it’s our past that made us what we are and that allows us to go on”.
Look for the bright spots in this winter dark and you’ll find them.
