New Beginnings

It is June, and as we speak the garden is bustling with color and life. It all starts in January, when the seed catalogs come. It makes an otherwise cold and dreary month exciting as I look forward to planning the garden. As I peruse the catalogs I am reminded of the many types of seeds that can be planted in life. Seeds of kindness, goodness, love and faith. Seeds of knowledge and imparting it to the next generation. Sowing the seeds of forgiveness-that’s one that sprouts new life for all parties involved!

Over the years we have made several new beginnings, some major and some minor. New babies have come and made milestones. Our oldest has graduated high school and has now begun a new chapter in his life. Adoption was one major new beginning.

We have a gift with each new day. Time allotted to do what we need to do, spending time with people we care about. You know when you have a really long, drawn out, ‘bad’ day, but then you know the night will come and with it a new day. This is why I love sunrises and it is why I paint so many sunrises. Here is to a new beginning and to a new blog.
