Balance

Happy Vernal Equinox! I love, love, love Spring. Two of our three children were born in springtime, and our anniversary falls during the heart of Spring.

A few years back, I joined a dear friend's birthday celebration in Hume, Virginia, near the Blue Ridge in Virginia's wine country. The landscape and flowers and baby lambs (seriously) were all so fresh and beautiful, I was literally brought to tears driving out there from our home in Richmond.

It is --another -- bright and beautiful morning out here in the high desert. Even in the bad, brown desert, Spring is beautiful. We actually have flowers bloom throughout April, and we had enough rain this past Winter that the bushes and cactuses in the wash behind our house are bright green.

Indeed, rebirth and renewal is the good news of our lives. Whatever your beliefs or background, Spring is a miracle. So grab your Claritin, and get out and enjoy.
