Spring has really sprung here.  In the two days that I was gone,  there is more green in a thousand hues.  I am glad to be back home.  Home is truly where the heart is. Travel was a nightmare, but all of that is over now.  What matters is being here today.

This is my wife's birthday.  She said that the greatest gift she has gotten on this birthday is recovery--both health wise and from alcoholism.  I am grateful for all that we have together.

Today we are going to have lunch, visit her mother and enjoy spending some time together.  I have my home group meeting tonight.  I know that I need a meeting and can tell when I haven't been to one for a few days.  I don't know what else the day will hold but am okay with whatever C. wants to do.  Birthdays are special.  I know that she is special in my heart.

I want to share some of what has blossomed and sprung out over the past few days.  It is a beautiful time in this place I call home. Here are a few photos of what spring has brought to the Lowcountry:

Hope that you have a good first day of spring.
