Soft sun touching cold High eaves unbroken dripping February thaw

Sky gray-white flat close Cold drizzle softening ice Bitterness ebbing

Sodden-dark trunks rise Black mud soft-edged graying snow Green rhododendron

Sun-bereft morning Icy melting monochrome Evergreen broken

Gray-white hovers low Weeping away ice and snow Cold tears bear rebirth

I love the deep blue of cobalt glass. And there's just something so satisfying in a tall cobalt glass of milk. Yeah, I drink almost as much milk as I did when I was a kid. And I love how it looks in my favorite glass.

Days like today I can simply enjoy my glass of milk with my eclectic lunch, take pleasure in the beauty I see in cobalt blue and Christmas lights, and find this moment enough. I can pause to breathe peace before taking on what's next. And I can invite you to take a moment to enjoy something you find beautiful... and breathe.
