Earth day, Greenwich park with my camera. Went to take picture of the Royal Observatory and the tourists, and the view from up the hill. Come back with this picture, one of the favorites. 

At one side, it is already spring, beautiful spring green leaves cover the trees along the alley. On the other side, still winter. Do we look only at one side? "It is winter, it is cold, it is sad." we can say then. But when we look at the other side, the new, renewal, hope is already there.

My ex husband died and just learned it, as his third wife called one of her daughter. Suddenly so many memories rushed to me. Some, towards our end together were like the winter trees. Difficult times. Others, not only months but years of the beginnings, joyful  wonderful moments remembered. In fact, have to look at both. Accept both sides.
