New Year

I saw the top of a crocus today peeking through the sod. How odd upon this New Years day to see a sign of spring! It seems the weather does bring hope and joy and sorrow a promise of feast or famine greater than all our resolutions. And have we adversely affected the climate that is projected to come our way ... who can say? I saw the top of a crocus today.

It's so damn cold here, I thought I saw a penguin. I wasn't hallucinating, it was my neighbor wearing a tux. Now that's scary. Vince

Hi Sue Here's to that beautiful Crocus! A biblical flower. Perhaps the message in it is reflective of what your beautiful spirit was meant to share here. As I sit and ponder many thoughts come my way....Hmmm, I savior the mystery. Love Light Truth Patricia

Well, I love the poem, but I am not so sure it is a good sign. Still, I am reminded of the rebirth of Spring in all it's glory, while it is windy and freezing outside here this Winter's day. Happy new year Susie-Q. Love, Shar

Sue - I'm guessing that a Crocus is like a ground hog - We have affected our climate - i heard on the discovery channel that we lost some 200+trillion pounds of Ice off the Polar Caps last year alone - I think we have become a little to intelligent for our own good - Hopefully we can learn before it's too late - God Bless, MJ
