“This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind…let it be something good.”

Yesterday as the day rolled in, snow flakes made a surprise visit. They eloquently entered a cold open space though overnight rains soon washed off some snow covered grounds.

Touched by the magic of nature, pansies have started to bloom while, way up on a tree, a young eagle hatched from his egg. His arrival was a define moment. And so was the bloom.

Today is indeed a new day.

Have a pleasant weekend everyone … Talk to you later next week ….
