Glad to be alive

Two weeks since I blogged, so not doing too well on the intention for 2008 that says I will blog more regularly. I have let go of the need to blog every day because I feel I should - hurray but there's still some work to do on being more constant.

It's not that I forget, but I put it aside until later and later doesn't always come.

However, I wanted to share the sunshine with you and the fact that when walking regularly , you can't really get away from the weather. These last few days in my area have been blissful. Very cold to start and then developing into bright sunny and warm days, cooling down in the evening and often nature offers up stunning skies streaked with pink as the sun disappears. They are for me, real glad to be alive days and ground me as they make me realsie that it is all the simple and free things in life that are important as well as my husband, daughter and friends of course.

What kind of days are your glad to be alive days?

Here's a photo of the beautiful miniture daffodils in my window box, just the sight of them make me smile. In fact it's hard to be sad when faced with such happy flowers.

There seems to have been such little time without leaves and flowers this winter and I don't seem to have walked in the dark lots either. Now I'm looking forward to the bluebells as the carpets of them in Epping Forest as a sight worth seeing.
