Up for the Challenge ~ ACCEPTANCE ~ Theme for April 2026



Arguments seldom…

Coming into…

Caring for…

Excitement rolls…

Patience is…

Temptation to…

A day without…

Needing a…

Comfort and …

Entering life…

But I refuse to be reduced by it.’

An Offer


Courage can restore order 

  when a chaos of worries

    threatens to overwhelm,


Just a tiny bit of courage to 

  take a deep breath, 

    take one tiny step, 

      to believe in that breath


Courage can restore order 

  when tiredness dictates

    with an offer to rest.



“Your best teacher is the person offering you your greatest challenge”

Snow Fall




As if to convince us that 

it was still winter, 

the snow fell lightly, 

a steady east wind brushing 

it through the air. The beauty 

of a gentle winter day. But 

most of us are smart enough 

to know that after today, 

it’s time for winter to take 

its frosty flakes and go home. 

Just not today. 

I hope




“…..winter is an exercise in waiting ~ for relief, for a bird to sing, 

for the first purple crocus to push up through the snow” 

~ Michelle Obama, Becoming



*Authors note: At the risk of repeating myself, this is the third year in a row that I have used this March snow fall picture. I’m still acclimating myself from my years away in locations when March is spring time!
