Just These Three

I must be dreaming - I thought. How is it possible that just yesterday there was just one..and today there are three?

I blinked. I looked once..and then looked twice and again.

It was overcast..grey..colorless and dreary. It just couldn't be....

My mind - I was sure - was deceiving me. I raised my camera to my disbelieving eye. I looked thru its lens. Still - I could not quite trust in what it was seeing.

I reminded myself of the prize. That it's always in the process. That from small things...big things can become.

What remained of yesterday's snow and ice had melted. That was then. This is now. Who knows what will be - tomorrow?

Today I am grateful - for just these three.
