Spring is my favorite season, by far. Since I was born in April, maybe cake was my initial joy. Now, at 36, I can honestly say it is the newness and beauty of life in Spring that inspires me.

Sam and I have birthdays just 10 days apart, so this year to celebrate we took a much needed 4 day getaway to San Antonio's La Cantera. We laughed, ate, rested, visited with friends and family but mostly commented on how beautiful it was. The weather was stormy one night and windy for golf, yet each morning we sat by the enormous glass window for breakfast and basked in the beauty of nature, forgetting any imperfection from the day before.

Tonight we are back living in the real world of responsibilities but thankfully Spring followed us home so tomorrow morning I will find my biggest window and take in the beauty.
