Weekly bird in the hand

I've missed a couple of my "bird in the hand" posts I'm afraid as I've been away, back in England - so that means I have even more to be grateful for this week!  Here's this week's list of the things that I am grateful for:

• being surrounded my like-minded people
• having tender, sincere conversations with casual friends that takes the friendship to another level
• sunshine and warmth - it got up to 79 degrees here this week
• seeing the turtles in the pond, warming themselves on the duck platform
• getting back into singing
• being asked to participate in new things
• new opportunities
• the excitement of new ideas
• meeting new people
• enjoying the yellow of the daffodils
• seeing all the blossom on the trees
• seeing the brightest blue on a male bluebird as he flies around the vineyard with his Mrs.

It's like a week of new life with the flowers/blossoms, birds, turtles and new beginnings.  Has spring sprung in your heart yet?
