I found mine. How 'bout you?
So my try it plan isn’t just for creative endeavors…
Stef and I decided to hit a bucket of balls today. Or should I say, “try” to hit a bucket of balls?
The weather was beautiful, and we had a great time. Were we good at swinging those woods? That’s up for debate, but at least we did it.
What have you wanted to do lately? Okay, get out and do it!
Stay groovy…

This one’s for you, Mom…
So with Easter less than a month away, it’s time for me to begin writing about the Peeps. I say “begin writing” because those of you who know me well will recognize that the Peeps are so important that they will warrant more than one blog entry. No, I am not kidding…
So I’ll begin with my favorite Peep story. I’ve been a fan of the Peeps since I was a small child. My mother knew this and would occasionally surprise me with an unexpected pack of Peeps which I so appreciated. I arrived home as a young adult to a package of the Peep “bunnies” on my bed.
As I thanked my mom, she replied, “I know how you love your Peeps.”
I stated, “Well, they’re not actually Peeps.”
Mom: “Yes, they are.”
Me: “No, they aren’t.”
Mom: “Yes, they are.”
Me: “No, they’re bunnies.”
Mom: “It’s the same thing.”
Me: “No Mom. A bunny’s a bunny, and a Peep’s a Peep.”
And since then every year when the Peeps make their first appearance in the market, I call my mother and say:
“Please always remember and don’t ever forget, a bunny’s a bunny, and a Peep’s a Peep.”
And Mom always chuckles…
Stay groovy…

Try it…
Things you want to do
You should not wait forever
Time will slip away…
This so relates well to my life at the moment. There are so many creative endeavors that held my interest but not my full attention. I am at that point in my life that I am recognizing that the time is now to try it…
Stay groovy…

Breezy…
Sitting on the porch
I feel the cool breeze blowing
Air is fresh and clear…
This was what it was like sitting on the front porch when my family visited. We were barely inside because it was such a beautiful day…
Stay groovy…

Family…
Gather ’round table
Loud laughter and stories told
Family visits…
And this happened yesterday. Two of my brothers and their kids joined my family for an afternoon of laughter and fun. A good time was had by all. This will most definitely be an annual event…
Reach out and gather your loved ones…
Stay groovy…

Ocean Waves…
Ocean waves roll in
Powerful break over shore
It’s quite cathartic…
Stay groovy…

So spring is upon us, and there’s no better way to welcome the season than to change things up.
My recognition of this came from an unexpected direction. I had been using the same teaching background for my classes for about eight months when I was suddenly gripped by a desire to create something new. So it was off to the Dollar Tree to find some inexpensive accoutrements to redesign my display.
But this is not about the outcome of my redesign, but about change in general. Spring is a wonderful time to renew because the world around us is doing just that. My daughter, Sammy, and I recently saw two baby Sandhill Cranes wandering with their parents. They were so fresh and downright adorable that it made me take pause to appreciate new beginnings.
So whether it’s rethinking a background, cleaning a closet, redecorating a room, or trying a new lipstick shade, go for it! Spring is here, so change it up…
Stay groovy…

And so as it is today….
Cozy in my bed
Light rain drizzling all day long
Curled up with a book…
Stay groovy…

Spring
Anticipate rain…
Storms offer promise of growth…
Smell flowers blossom.
Stay groovy…

Fog
My view obstructed
Damp mist encircles my soul
Fog descends on me…
Stay groovy…
