(And, after their determined folded arms, their unflappable posture, and those staunch expressions, I am especially smitten with their hats!)
Okay:
Today's Sub-Topic:
Streching (a metaphor)
Thursday is stretch day.
On Thursdays, I go through the motions. I stretch for it. I pretend I can bend that much, go that far, reach that high. In winter, the best that happens, most Thursdays, is that I point at it, that place that eludes me, that I cannot see, let alone touch. I imagine it and reach. And, often, on Fridays and Saturdays, I pay for that with sore muscles.
I am like the groundhog: I am light sensitive. I cannot go hither until the light calls me out. But, at last, today, there is sun on all that snow. Spring is nearing. The sun, like a large yellow flower, has opened on the windows.
It is always a surprise, when I wake up in a warmer, more welcoming world, that when I reach, I can touch what I couldn't before. I can see my dreams, they are in sight again, after all that winter.
Do we not all need our Thursday stretch days?

Now, if you will excuse me... (and to quote my favorite Beatles):
"The sun is out." (at last!)
"The sky is blue.
It's beautiful.
And so are you.
Dear Prudence, won't you come out to play?"
