Looking forward to Spring

My grandmother always used to say, when I was eager to grow up or
eager for summer during school or eager for spring during winter,
"Don't wish your life away," by which she meant, carpe dium or live
each day.

It's grey and dismal outside. But I do have spring--or maybe even
summer--inside--My azalea bonsai, a mother's day gift from my kids, to
cheer me up and bring a touch of brightness to this dark day.
