scratch n sniff

I mentioned before I haven't been feeling inspired lately or feel like I have anything to say ...or anything good to say...

But tonight something changed. My friend Mary brought in a big basket of lemons from her backyard tree to our writing group. It was like a breathe of fresh air. Just seeing them, smelling them and knowing that I've called our baby "lemon" since the early weeks when the books referred to the size as the size of a "lemon" - it's just stuck.

So the lemon has inspired me once again.

Gave me a fresh look at things, a fresh look at how I've been swifly moving through the days and not really being in the moment. I will keep the lemons around to remind me of the past 8 months and what is to come and to remind me that being in the moment is so much better...
