A Haiku to Start the Day

I came up with this one while walking the dog this morning:

Not as cold today:
Winter is losing its grip.
Look! - A crocus bud!

Ahhh, spring is on the way! At last! My attitude is improving (thawing?) as Daylight Saving Time approaches. The days are getting longer, the snow has almost completely melted, and I'm looking forward to evening walks after work with my wife daughter while the sun is still up.

Just read a wonderful passage from 365 Tao:

"No matter how much we achieve one day, we must continue the next. Progress is often so subtle that we may often feel the effort futile, and it is hard to get up each morning with the same enthusiasm. Yet this is precisely what we must do."

Somehow, the daily pushups and crunches seemed easier today.
