New Life

I posted this on social media three years ago during my recovery from mastectomy surgery. It seems as revelant now with all that life has thrown at me since, my dad's passing and all the changes the pandemic forced on us.

Spring. I see it emerging everywhere. Six deer grazed along our back lawn this morning. A slew of songbirds are singing their little hearts out from every tree and bush: blackbirds, robins, doves and others I need a book to identify. A pair of hawks are nesting close by and a pair of bald eagles performed an aerial courtship dance within view of our front window. Warm rains have encouraged buds on all the trees. Several are close to blooming.

My heart is encouraged. As nature is rebounding from winter, I will recover from this post-cancer surgery into a new life too. Each day is better than the one before, with fewer bumps. I am thankful for many things, especially life.
