hello april, hello clouds, hello warm air
hello new page in the calendar
hello graduating from two physical therapy appointments each week to just one a week
hello anxiety over the EEG i have scheduled for the fourth
and hello brain telling my nervous system that there is really nothing to be anxious about - it's just a brain activity study
hello to a whole series of firsts since my stroke - first haircut, first half-mile walks, first days without an assistive walking device (neither walker nor cane)
hello to a whole lot of oppotunities for gratitude - i just know it - thirty days means thirty moments (at the very least) to find joy
hello to the last full month of having two high schoolers in my house - at the end of next month, maddie graduates
hello to the last month before fire season really kicks into gear
hello lots of blank pages and blank blog templates - pages and templates to fill before the end of the month
hello to the envelopes maddie and i will address and send off with her graduation announcements inside
hello to the projects that ben and isaac and maddie and i will do together
hello to flavorful meals and cakes waiting to be made and eaten
april, you are going to be good, little by little, you are going to be good
