Happy TTOT time and hello April 2.0 Let’s get started!

Have you noticed April flowers are coming out early? I am getting a bit confused about the succession of things, but that’s okay. I am simply Grateful for all the beauty that surrounds us. And what beautiful music I have been hearing from the birds. There’s been a frequent fly up on my porch and I suspect the birds are either nesting or looking for materials from my flowerpots. I love to hear their chirping such beautiful songs. I smiled with enthusiasm for their pursuits.

Yesterday held a strong promise of horrible winds and storms. It just so happened to be the day I needed to go out and take care of business. It turned out breezy and very tolerable and maybe a few rain sprinkles. Yay! I was able to add grocery shopping to the list since it was navigation friendly weather.

Daughter and I went to her pre-op appointment yesterday. It went very well. We had our questions answered and both left with a sigh of relief. Her surgery is next week, and we will be happy to be done with it, but go to it in good faith, helped with knowledge. Education goes a long way to boost confidence. Daughter has been preparing her room to make sure she can navigate her walker for essentials. She took it upon herself to do some additional housework. I won’t turn down good help! Grateful, I am.

Tax season is coming to a close on Monday. I will have my sweetheart back home on a regular basis. He will also be taking much needed time off. We all will. His company is having a post-tax season celebration at a place where we can Throw axes and eat lots of rich foods. I don’t have any axes to grind but will throw some for the fun of it. After all, how often do you get a chance to throw an axe?

While I don’t get to TTOT regularly, I hope those of you who like to write Poetry have been noticing the daily poetry prompts this month. It’s National Poetry Month and my daily prompts have been fun to share. What are you doing for this year’s challenge? Thank you to those who pingback to my posts. It helps me feel like I am contributing.

This weekend is the quarterly Fine Lines Conference. The theme for this time is “Tell Me a Story.” I am grateful to find the time to organize the opening video and to prepare my presentation for Sunday, “Tattoos on My Soul.” The conference is virtual, and free will donation based. We’re looking to have quite a few people attend.
