I journaled this a few years ago on an emotionally trying day and decided to include it in my upcoming book To Mom Is to Love: Pioneering a New Kind of Motherhood as I now think of it every year:
Valerie, I am catching up on reading my favorite authors. Today we spotted the first swallowtail butterfly of the season in our garden. I couldn't help but blurt out "hello" and start waving. I'm not sure the butterfly appreciates my communication efforts, but that was my excitement. I agree that Springtime can be almost intoxicating!
When spring comes, the little buds are a wonder...agreed!
It truly is beautiful
