springtime in my heart

what a beautiful day it is today. the sun is shining brilliantly. under the snow the daffodils are sleeping. they're smiling because they know they will be called to calm us soon with their beckoning beauty. it's mid january and we are 58% into winter. that's only a mere 42% left to go til robins sing to us as we wake from a wintertime slumber.
i measured a woman's kitchen and bath today for laminate flooring. i sell flooring! she lives in a village named lafox that was established in 1859. what a beautiful setting in the country, which time has forgotten.
mom died on november 16th. she was 85 and had the most lovely of hearts. i had a sentimental journey yesterday, looking over old photographs i had never seen. how blessed i am that i could enjoy her presence for 52 years. her essence, i'm sure will accompany me all the days of my life.
i drive the rural highways when i visit my old hometown of rock island. a myriad of thoughts visit me as i travel these roads. what a pleasure to escape through the small towns that greet me on my adventure.
i am grateful for every day and what it brings. may i be an instrument through which God's love can flow. may i do all things as unto Him.
