star magnolia, one of the first to bloom, making it through the cold.

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose. ~Arnold Bennett, British writer

Dear God, today I awake to the gift that I truly am, that my life truly is. Let me be as excited about my new day of life, of my precious self, as I have been at the new foal and baby goats. I appreciate your help to make good choices in this loving attitude toward myself and others. Amen. So it is.

Blessing for a great week,
CurtissAnn
