The sun finally came out today, timely with Spring just arriving a few days ago. In addition to the warmer weather, the birds chirping and the flowers beginning to pop up through the topsoil, my continuing blooming personal life is also stretching upwards toward the sun.

Even when there is silence, we are comfortable. I'm not even crossing my fingers....it just works. Maybe 2016 and the year of the monkey is finally my year!!!!!
