Inspiring My Passions!

This is Harry the Heron -- who has returned from the winter to my own neighborhood.

Harry inspired today's post -- but you won't find it on The Marmelade Gypsy -- you'll have to visit Relyn at Come Sit by My Fire, where I am guest blogger! She is hosting a month of passions and to learn about one of mine, you'll have to visit her! Thanks, Relyn, for inviting me!

And while you're at it, check the other passionate posts, too! You'll find lots of inspiration from her guests and from Relyn herself, whose blog is always a delight!

Come back here on Friday for a preview of Easter!

  3. Good morning! I have just finished reading your beautiful post at Char's place - once again your words of wisdom hit home. I'm headed for my own walk soon. It's definitely time to clear my head and refocus! Thank you for your inspiration. (Say hi to Harry next time you see him:))

  10. jeanie, I'm just laughing. The reasons aren't important, but my mom called me this morning at 4:45 a.m., just to see how I was. How I was, was wide awake, heart pounding, wondering what was wrong that I should be getting a call at such an hour.

    Well, I couldn't go back to sleep, and I was feeling a little grumpy. I made coffee and decided to use the extra time to browse the blogs, and found the heron post.

    Needless to say, by the time I was done reading, I was pretty much determined to let go of the grumpiness and enjoy my extra time.
    Thanks for a wonderful post!

    ADD: this morning's verification word is "undefusn". Do you suppose that's German for "person with a short fuse who's decided not to light it"? ;-)

Thanks for coming by! I love your comments and will answer do my best reply directly with email if your address is included. If you are a no-reply blogger, know that I appreciate your visit but may not be able to reach you. I will not publish malicious or spam-like robo-comments so if you are coming in as anonymous or unknown, please ID yourself with your name and or contact info. I tend to avoid conflict. I know not everyone agrees with me on issues or I with them and I will probably not get into an argument with you. If a comment is made respectfully, I will post it, even if I don't agree with what the commenter says. If it is obviously spam or uncivil, I may not post it and I certainly won't reply. So, if you have a question, please post it in the comments and if you aren't connected to a blog or email, I will be happy to answer if I can. Please note that if you are an "anonymous" commenter, you are a no-reply blogger by default. (And I hope the person who asked that sees this because they came in as anonymous with no contact info so I can't reply directly!)
