Despite the attempts of hurricane Katie that swept through with fevour during our resting hours, we reflect upon the joyous Easter weekend, for it is an occasion that brings joy and hope. The clocks have "sprung" forward an hour and, whilst this affords us an hour less to rest from toil, it has thankfully coincided with the Easter festivities with the added bonus of both of my guardian's being at home, a rare occasion indeed. On the brighter days we have spent time outside, tidying and clearing the various sections of our small estate, as well as making plans for the garden year ahead. On less clement days we have spent time opening cupboards, clearing and cleaning; I do believe the modern term is de-cluttering, quite the essential requirement after the long months of autumn and winter. The downside, of course, is less time in repose and more casting a seasoned eye over the plans for the year ahead; most essential to keep ones hand firmly on the metaphorical rudder, I am sure you agree. Eagerness has a tendency to bound ahead, there are times when the maxim oft heard uttered by my male guardian is one that wins the day, "slow and steady wins the race".
We do so hope your Easter time has given you great joy as well as peaceful thoughts for the year ahead. Be daring, jump off the treadmill of life and allow time to just be. Revel in the simple things in life, for it is these that refresh the soul, my dears, I do heartily assure you.
