My surprise is this photo. Jasmine are invisible outside my window until they burst like a wedding bouquet.
I have been celebrating warm days, dahlias, and peaks of vegetable seeds coming up green that I started in my garage. I love the surprise of looking at them daily, like newborns...well not exactly like that, but I do talk to them.
I love the calls from happy and tearful parents saying, "He got in. She got her first choice college. We were so surprised she got a scholarship."
What surprise have you had this year? What surprise would you like to have?
Emily called to tell me her daughter is getting married in August and she loves her new son in law. They are having a destination wedding in Napa. She was shocked.
My neighbors called to say they are moving to New Orleans. What a surprise.
They had been brainstorming how to make that happen with their two young children and now they are leaving by summer.
Jeannie got engaged and she thought that would never happen since she is in her fifties and not real social.
Are you getting inspired to make a list of what happy surprise you would like this year?
I would like to travel. I just love everything about it, including the airports, different languages, seeing how little I can pack and carry, the foods, the architecture, the schools, the gardens, the wines, the music, taking photos, and the way they live their lives. I get inspired and creative.
So tell us what is on your surprise list?
Happy Spring,
Natalie
