LET THERE BE LIGHT ... AND MORE LIGHT

My purple crocus are happy about spring! There is a small but mighty patch in our landscaping.

Seventy-three degrees in mid-March, in Indiana.

And an extra hour of light at the end of the day.

And sunshine is beaming right now.

Sure wish I didn’t have to work today. But I'm home now, and  in just a bit, I’m heading out the door and around the block. I hear the children’s voices out there, and it’s almost  a childhood flashback; as though I could hop on my pony and fly down our gravel road and meet up with the neighbor kids.

Reality check: I’m 57.

Could it be that spring has sprung and we’re done fretting about cold weather? Nah. We’ll have more of it. But not today and I’m celebrating.

Almost as polarizing as presidential politics around these parts is where you stand on Daylight Savings Time. I don’t discuss politics on social media but I will tell you exactly where I am on DST: I love it. Love that extra hour of light at the end of my day, love it in mid-summer where it is 10 p.m. and I feel like I’ve had an entire day to enjoy since I left work.

Maybe it depends on if you are a morning or evening person or if you have school-age kids to get to bed or to bus stops. I have none of those issues. I’m neither a morning nor evening person. My finest hour is 10 a.m. but I get a second wind at night. The light is inspiring.

If you aren't feeling it, well, at least I hope your clocks have all been changed.

Like me on Facebook!

Well, enough about light. I see the stats on how many read this blog but few of you comment. And I wonder: WHO are you all? Here’s a favor.

My author page on Facebook is five people shy of 500 and in the coming weeks I’ve got some big stuff to tell you about.

So if you enjoy writing, books and my quirky brand of small talk, would you go onto Facebook and like Donna Cronk – the author page?

And, tell me about yourself while you are there and if this blog prompted the “like.”

Or not.

You could just put on your walking shoes and hit the road. There’s still some light to be had out there. Yee-haw.
