I was drawn to the west window of my Joyful Pause Cottage when I entered it mid-morning. 

Waking at 6 a.m. I looked out my bedroom window to see about an inch of snow on the ground! I admit, for a moment, I was disgruntled. 

By the time I got out to my cottage the snow was already melting, though large, fluffy flakes are falling again as I write this.

But looking out the window I was drawn to the snow caps on the shrub in my perennial garden. It was so pretty and I dubbed it the Snow Drop Shrub.

I noted the metal crow looking at the tree as if seeing the same beauty I was seeing too. Crows are often related to the mysteries of life, transformation, and change.

While the calendar may say it’s Spring, Mother Nature and Crow were reminding me that I can either stay in the shadow of what should be or open to the beauty of what is right outside my window.

And as I end writing this post the sun is shining – all that transformation in just a matter of minutes! Another lesson that we can choose to let go of the struggle and trust that all is in perfect timing.
