Good Morning!

I am Bobby reporting from West Virginia, more specifically, the Greater Potomac Highlands.

Spring is breathtakingly beautiful here. The richness of the new tree foliage is so alive it reaches into your soul like a vibrating hum- the same feeling you get when you first taste a rich chocolate cake. Then, like frosting for the mind, there are the flowers that the shrubs and fruit trees are bearing now. They seem to hover in the air- what a vast variety of color and shapes!

I love spending time outdoors. For one thing, I never get bruises from bumping my head. I spent a good bit of time kneeling on the ground yesterday "playing" in the dirt. I am taking out a grove of lilacs that is too close to the house. Have to get them down below the root so they will not regrow.

Then I played with the dirt in the garden. We have already planted two types of lettuce; radishes; spinach; spring onions; beets and cucumbers. Since this is my first time, I feel not only like an expectant father, but one who has never been pregnant before.

Last night we went to Winchester Old Town; to an A. A. meeting. I had deep thought about the topic, which was anger. The reading emphasized how anger is a luxury that alcoholics cannot afford (as in the price is too high). I was willing and wanted to share my thought at the meeting. I tried to share it at the meeting. I did not get a chance to share it though. Too many other people had too much to say. Such is life. I suspect that God was in control of this.

Not getting to share made me a tad angry (irony). But that just lead to deeper thoughts, which I wrote down instead. Kim approved my written sharing as valid, so I am content.

This morning the first thing I did was pet the nearest dogs. It truly is a pleasant event and I cannot remember the last time I did not wake up this way.

The second thing I did was come up with the name for this blog. It has great significance.

Love someone well today, k?

Bobby
