Yesterday was the first day of spring and this blog's 19th anniversary, but the day did not play out the way I had expected it to.

It was a very dreary day with lots of rain and a few thundershowers,  

I don't know if any of you are affected by the weather and changes in barometric pressure, but I have always been very sensitive to both. 

As a result, instead of writing the special post I had looked forward to doing, I allowed my aches and pains to seduce me into attending a pity party where my thoughts were out of harmony as to whether or not I should even continue blogging, take a break, or just say goodbye. 

And then this morning, I woke up to a beautiful, blue sky day and wondered what all that had been about. 

Things seem to look so much more harmonious (at least to me) when the sun is shining, and when I remember to keep my focus on the Lord, knowing that He is in control, that the clouds will pass, and that whatever lies ahead, Jesus is my good shepherd and is walking by my side (Psalm 23:4). 

Catching sight of these tiny wildflowers in the grass of our courtyard gave my spirits an added boost, reassuring me that yesterday's gloominess, notwithstanding, spring really is here.
