Just a short post from one tired lady...

Just a short post from one tired lady…

This will be a short post…I’m about pooped from moving furniture.  We bought a new couch and rearranged an office area, so we uncovered a lot of dusty corners.  My back isn’t quite as strong as it once was, either—I may have to call for help to get out of bed in the morning. 

Today’s prompt asks what is the hardest part about a beginning.  I’ll point out the obvious, and say the hardest part of a beginning is getting started.

When a task seems overwhelming, I try to keep in mind that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 

My thousand mile journey, by the way, is progressing nicely.  Although this morning was cold, the sun was out bright and the air quickly warmed up…just right for a nice three mile walk. 

Apparently we are stuck in a “La Nina” weather pattern here in Kentucky, because it’s been unseasonably warm most of January and December. 

My daffodils have already made their way up through the ground and are standing three or four inches tall. I’ve seen a few spring-blooming shrubs in bud, too. 

I’m not complaining about this warm weather, but I’d sure hate to see the bloom cycle messed up.
