Beautiful pic Sun. Songs of spring. I saw my first robin today. I was almost dancing as I greeted him back. My cat was chattering to get outside when she spotted one out the window. Sorry kitty you are stuck in here unless I go out with you.

I am glad you like the Buddha quotes. I thought there were pretty cool too. The brought me a sense of calm optomism of sorts.

I didn't get a chance to sit either last night or this morning. A good friend living in Switzerland, we had actually met there but she originally comes from Manitoba. We have remained friends though sometimes there are years between communicatons. Anyways she called last night at 11pm. Just as I was setting to get in to bed. It was 8am there. We talked for 2 hours about this and that. It is usually a long call when ever one of us decides to call. It was wonderful to talk to her again.

By then it was 1am and it took me an hour or so to unwind before I could get ready for bed. I did some focused breathing but it didn't really get me to where I was able to shut down my brains so it was probably another hour or two before I was able to fall asleep.

I got up to the alarm at 7:15 this morning to get my son off to school. I went back to bed when he went into the shower. Little did I know that he had fallen asleep again after his shower. I only dosed while waiting for him to come say good bye before catching his bus at 8:10. I woke at 8:22 to what sounded like a grunt. I thought don't tell me he missed the bus and I am going to have to get up and drive him. Sure enough when I opened my doore and called for him he was still there. He had follow back to sleep while drying off. The grunt was his surprise that he had actually fallen asleep. I couldn't believe my ears. Before I could catch myself I kind of went balistic. I swore and slammed my door and begrudgingly got myself dressed. I was so ticked that I was going to have to get up out of my nice warm bed and drive him to school. Early bed time for him tonight. ARG.

While he finished getting ready I took a few minutes to calm my breathing and settle my frustration. By the time I came out of my room to see if he was ready my mood had completely flipped. I remembered a dream I had just woken from and it was so bazaare it was funny. I told it to him while driving to school and it totally cleared the air.

I came home to find a robin sitting in the tree and danced with joy.... i think i said that already. Oh well... it bears repeating. The robins are here so spring can't be far away now. YIPPEE!!
