Sunshine!


a new day has begun, with eyes
wide open, i look up to the sky
and see the sunshine beaming thru

it is time for the sun to shine
life does present us with rocky roads
however we find a way to get thru

april is very near, it is when our
weather changes, and our spirits bloom
it is time for the rain to bring us
that wonderful spring smell

close your eyes you know that smell
breathe it in

our bodies can feel it, we know
it is time for the awakening of spring
it cheers us on, and gives us hope

our spring and summer clothes may
not fit, but heck we got the sunshine!

i am ready for change, for new beginning's
to look at everything around me in a
different way, to take the time to be
grateful, for the trees, for the flowers
for family, for the owls, and for the nest!

iteach was right, her comment
stuck with me all day, and hence this blog

"They sweep everything under the rug
and don't deal with anything".

"No sweeping here"!

sweeping is not allowed
and because of that, there is only
sunshine today, look up to the sky
you will see it, just as i did!

and if you have raindrops
push them aside with all your strength
just like curtains
and the sunshine will peek thru~~

:O)

MEK in AZ said...

Bon'O said...

I never used to look at the Michael's ad flyer in the Sunday paper until I 'met' all you crazies. Now I have to check it out to see what you'll be ga-ga for this week. :o)

Jodi said...

TINA - Congrats on 200!!

MEK - Come on....say it!! My name is MEK and I'm a Michaelsaholic!!! LOL!!

Hey BON!!!

MEK in AZ said...

Hey Hodi...

Bono - it has just gotten to be a joke about the Michael's coupons - they don't have a whole lot of more stuff that I really need!! My SIL was teasing me that maybe I missed something on aisle 10!!

Okay - LA Ink is over and I really need to go to bed..

I hope you all have an excellent Good Friday!!
:-)

Bon'O said...

Yo baby!! Hey, Jodi, guess what? It's freakin' snowing here. The 11pm news was just showing a downtown flurry. Raining now. Obama's speaking here at 9pm tomorrow night, and people are already camping out to get a spot. That's not going to be fun!

MEK in AZ said...

LOL Hodi - I think I confessed and admitted all that in my one and only blog!!
:-)

But -- if it will make you happy...

My name is MEK and I am a scrapoholic!!! :-)

Jodi said...

MEK - Good night!!! And Thank you!!!

BON - Not looking good for my lunch date with GOLDIE tomorrow. We could have up to 10 inches of snow - what the crap!!! At least it won't be sticking around long this time of year.

whabbear said...

Carol: My thoughts are with you and your extended family at this time. Can't wait to read about Aunt Jo!

But how could you state, in a public forum like the nest, that I have a twisted mind! So unfair! Why, just this weekend, huz and I will be celebrating Easter quite innocently, at a party that I just described over on Ross's blog. LOL!

Fun! Fun! Fun! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Oh, wait. That's a Christmas expression. Oh, well. You owls have made it appropriate year round!

Hmmmm. Perhaps, Carol, you were right, after all.

JoeyfromSC said...

wHObbear! I just read your Easter fun! too funny!
Oh and the spelling police says you put "chatteRers" lmao

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROSIE!:)

Barbara_in_COviaWA said...

Carol...
I'm so sorry for your loss of your Aunt Jo. I do agree though that it is a life to be celebrated. She is no longer in pain, and for that we can all be grateful.

I will be thinking of you today.

I will check in on Sunday night to see what kind of trouble you guys have gotten yourselves into!

Have a wonderful Easter weekend everyone!

Barb

Shirley(NCC-1701) said...

((((((HUGS)))))) for you Carol and your family.

goldie said...

Crappola- had to reschedule my lunch today with Jodi. Damn blizzard. :(

I watched a cab slide into the fire hydrant outside my office window. He got out and looked then drove away. I thought about calling the cops, then didn't. Now I decided I better because because I don't want it on my head if there is a fire and the damn building burns down because the hydrant was damaged. Just want I want- more quality time with the MPD this week!

Bear- a twisted mind? Who ever would one come to that conclusion??? HA!

I am bailing on work early. Not even going to hang until noon- so if I don't get back on until later or tonight-I hope you all have a good day!
