Despite a recent cold spell with temperature in the upper 20's at dawn I have noticed a change of color in the gold finches, the elder berry bushes have pushed open their leaf buds and I've heard the first Pacific Chorus frog croaking in the pond next to my place of work. I also now have light at both ends of my day while commuting to and from work. Our cold spell has provided fantastic sunrise and sunset colors that are breath taking in their intensity. Most of my fellow bus commuters seem oblivious to this unique time to observe this gift. I am getting ready to start my 3rd 30 years in a couple of months and my eyes are still open to the opportunities to observe this wonderful life around me where ever I am. My grip on the reins has lessened and my focus is tempered with experience. Reports at work get done but I also go out and listen to the frogs and breathe in the icy morning air happy to be alive while walking Sandy the dog. The next 30 will be challenging for sure but isn't the unknown always that way? Hej Julie,

The days for us are already getting a little longer now. Happy Birthday Julie and here is to many, many more quiet adventures ahead of you.
