Spring!

 We have been spared the blizzard the east side of Wyoming is enduring right now.  There is blue sky and 47 degree temperature outside right now.  The snow is melting and the mud is getting deep!  The dogs and I went for a walk in Freedom.  Here are some pictures from that pretty day. 

I am reading some of Victor Frankl's lectures he gave after he was released from the prison camps.  Much pondering on the "Meaning of Life" in these lectures.  He provides some very good logic of why we must die and how our certain death gives us meaning.  Otherwise what point would there be to anything?  I have learned so much from his writing!  

As Mike's mom struggles with so many health issues now, it is easy, in the quiet moments of being alone, to ponder life's meaning.  Watching young people proclaim their struggles on Facebook, wishing they would spend some time learning from Frankl as well.  

Isn't it just this simple?  You have the choice to make your life whatever you want it to be.  Make it happy and glorious and supreme because with life, there is always something to celebrate.  Or get down and grovel in being miserable.  Many make this choice.  Sometimes it is easy to get sucked down there as things get hard and complicated and challenging.  But I tell you - there will always be something good, wonderful, and miraculous going on for you to find. 

Enough of this serious stuff.  I am off to make more Kraut!!  Find the Wonder of Life!!
