We celebrated the spring equinox
With three days of snow.
But that doesn’t matter —
The equinox is the time when the world is
In perfect balance:
That moment when the light of day
And the dark of night are equal
All around the world.
And now, here in the northern hemisphere,
We go towards lighter times…
Even if we are enjoying the coldest ever winter this spring!

We all need balance in our lives–but as you know, it’s hard to do!!!! I remember the years when I was working fulltime. My job ate me alive —and I was truly a work-a-holic. As much as I needed to work to support my children, I’m not sure I would do that again. I missed out alot on my children’s growing up years… Oh Well. We must all look forward now instead of backward. Life for me is much more balanced these days… Have a good and BALANCED day.
Hugs,
Betsy

We’re enjoying longer light here in California, too. The hills are still a rich green from the winter rains, but will soon turn gold. Occasionally, we get snow on the mountain tops surrounding our little rural valley and it’s always a magical sight. We are both fortunate to live surrounded by such beauty. Kiss to Oscar!
