Yes
It could happen any time, tornado,
earthquake, Armageddon. It could happen.
Or sunshine, love, salvation.
It could, you know. That’s why we wake
and look out – no guarantees
in this life.
But some bonuses, like morning,
like right now, like noon,
like evening.
— William Stafford, “Yes” in “The Way It Is”

Great how you captured this mood. Text and picture fit very well together.

There you go wearing your Funeral Director Hat!
Lovely…
all about the bonuses
…in whatever form they come…
Yes!
What a lovely bonus for today. Thanks Dave 💛
🙂 It is. Thanks Val!
I’ve started with what others are calling ‘the bonus’. I’m so grateful I did on this grey and moody morning covered in a soft delicate snowy spring blanket.
Snow!?!? Really? Wow.
Perfect combo, DK.
And yes, it could so we might as well enjoy the ‘is’ rather than the ‘could’
Well put Dale
