79 Days

I could wile away the hours, conferrin' with the flowers, consultin' with the rain......

Hours have gone by since October 9, when I was last here. Too many hours. But, then those hours were busy, filled with important activities. I don't feel guilty about those hours. I embrace them. I embrace being a mother, wife, sister. I haven't whiled away any time, just spent it doing the basic things of life. Priceless.

Speaking of flowers, there are only 79 days until the Vernal Equinox, the beginning of Spring. The counting of the hours (1,909 as of right now...) is all that keeps me sane in the more than cold days of Colorado lately. 79 more days of wearing thick socks and heavy shirts....... 79 more days of longing to see the green of grass, buds on trees - oh, I could go on, but I'm getting a tad depressed. 79 days...... That's when my New Year begins.
