I over-sleep and miss my early morning writing hour.
Instead, I begin the day by snapping lids on to Tupperware containers full of crackers, making beds, and brewing coffee. First light is filled with the mundane.
I notice the handful of stems from the Bohemian’s garden. Flowers sitting in a jar at the center of our table. Their simplicity, profound.
It’s true – flowers made me smile this morning.
Too dark inside, I bring them to our balcony ledge. Attempt to archive their beauty. These blooms, opening my day.
Four months ago, today, the Bohemian and I pledged our love for life.
I write that line and realize, that yes, we both love life and are quite committed to that enjoyment.
Read another way, and you’ll catch the meaning of what I initially intended. We made a commitment to our Love for a lifetime.

It seems longer than four months since we got married. We laugh that the ‘longer’ is felt in a good way. So close we feel, it’s as though we’ve been together many years.
I hope we get a long and vibrant life with each other. And in that expanse of time, that we can pass through the seasons in natural simplicity. Let the elements shape us. Ever-deepening our love. Sharing it with others.
Spring is in the air and garden plants hold fresh promises. Here’s to all things new and flowering.
