Let Your Hearts Be Glad

Good morning to you all!
Here at Plume Gables we have banana bread in the oven,
Ingrid Filter playing Chopin on the stereo,
coffee and tea in our cups
and the spring bouquet is a sight to behold!

About to pop
the tulips stand
a green sentry.
I know, not many people guard themselves with tulips.
But I do.  Grow flowers, not war.
I’M A BIT WORRIED THAT AS SOON AS THESE BEAUTIES BLOOM
THE DEER WILL HOP THE FENCE AND MUNCH THE BLOSSOMS OFF
SO I’M TAKING GREAT CARE TO WATCH THEIR DAILY PROGRESS
UNLESS I SHOULD MISS THEM IN THEIR CRIMSON SKIRTS.

I successfully cast off the shackles of anger and sadness 
yesterday.  I’m light of spirit.  
There’s Light in my spirit.
Thank you for receiving, so well, my fruits of the Spirit necklaces yesterday.  I hope they fill you up and make you glad and remind you to feel peace, joy, kindness and love when you need it most.  I’ll try to get the rest of the series finished in case any of you were pining away for self-control or patience!!!
Love to you all on this brilliant and sunny Saturday.
More often than not, your support and loving kindness is the breeze in my spinnaker sail.  I’m tacking straight for the heart of the sun.

PS  MY MANY MANY SCABS ARE LOOKING INFINITELY SMALLER THIS MORNING AND MY LIMBS FEEL LESS SWOLLEN SO IT’S OFF FOR A RUN IN THE HILLS, THOUGH IT’S USUALLY MORE OF A RUN FILLED WITH PAUSES AS I OFTEN STOP TO LISTEN TO THE SONG BIRDS.  CARDIOVASCULAR WORKOUTS ARE SO BOTHERSOME.
