Thank you so much for this. I’ve been thinking about staying hopeful in spite of the news, and appreciating the small joys of life. I’m 70 and have lived through lots of scary times, none of which I can do much about. I still wake up every day with a feeling of optimism, no matter what. I still think Pollyanna had it right.
Our peonies and our rhododendrons are just about finished but they bring so much joy while they are in bloom. We also had a deer and her fawn in our yard shorty after it was born. I try to concentrate on nature’s rebirth.
We’re on our annual spring trip to Estes Park to stay at the YMCA here, and, as we entered the property, there was a mama moose and two very young calves in the Lake at the entrance. Another sign of spring.
Thank you for sharing these beautiful moments & flowers with us. Gotta love Molly! She did her job well! The foxes were adorable. The peonies are stunning! It’s a shame their blooming season is so short! I appreciate that you shared the beauty in your world with me. It gave me a reason to smile!
You'll never know how much I needed this, Amy. We can never escape the truth, but we can focus on the beauty of nature, the tinies who think they're the giants, and our fellow humans who bring out the best in us, not the worst. Thank you.

It takes near constant vigilance these days to have a positive outlook.

A MOOSE?? My dream is to see a moose -- and I read that they might be migrating in this direction (over time), but so far no suck luck. Amazing sight.

Wow Marcia -- thank you for these compliments. Honestly re: photography -- I just stand there and press the button. But I'll happily take this win.

Fellow humans bringing out the best in us -- that's what it's all about.
