The Greatest Expression of Optimism

Today I have a new nephew! At 8 pounds 13 ounces and 22 inches long, I think it is safe to say he knows how to make an entrance. I see this, and any new life, as unbridled optimism about the future of the world. What an obvious blessing! No searching required today.

It's new life that makes Spring so special. There is nothing like the first bloom of the daffodils, the songs of the birds, and the greening of the trees to remind us of the good in the world we sometimes forget to notice.


Blessing #16, May 13, 2010

Today I am thankful for babies and springtime. Both represent starting fresh and remind me to look toward a better future.
