It is spring time in my new home! A pleasant warmth is filling the air and fresh colors are emerging from the hibernating plants, all a couple months earlier than I’ve what I’ve been used to for the past few decades. And I finally have a weeping willow!

It’s a transition time for me, and one of the ways I try to make sense of what’s going on in life is to write down my experiences.
Most of the time I analyze first, then write. But I am having trouble analyzing what’s been going on recently, so I think I’ll write first (and wait for the analysis to show up later on its own!).
I’m calling this set of ponderings “The 14th Hole”, named after my usual walking path through a golf course (which is highly conducive to pondering!).
I invite you to join me in taking a look at the transitions in our lives, and hope you’ll feel free to share your own thoughts and experiences, too!
As always, I am thrilled to get in touch with you, and the “Leave a Reply” comments section below is a great way to comment and contact me.
Here’s wishing you a vibrant springtime, regardless of what climate you live in!
