All those blossoms unfurling their delicate beauty and reflecting the message of life on branch after branch…..it does my heart good to see all the excitement and joy those little flowers bring.

They defy the season of dormancy and life being on hold, and they tell the world that new life is returning.

There is so much joy that crowds gather to celebrate,

and full-grown men wear pink jackets proudly

and dogs are just tickled pink

and fireworks honor their return each year…..

I am filled with hope for a community and a world that knows just how precious new life is.

May you find a sign of new life to lift your spirits and give you hope today.

Happy Cherry Blossom Season!  Love to all.
