This was written on April 1st, 2023. I didn’t get this published because I was distracted by creativity. I want to begin the habit of finishing one project before I start another. At least I’ll try.

It's Saturday morning. First of April, and I can't believe a new month is beginning. Wow. Where did March go? I have to keep going with the flow. I thought it would be a windy morning because we had a weather advisory for strong winds. The worst came that night.

I love walking in cool breezes and windy days as much as I love the rain. Friday, I had my last filling done at the dentist after having a three-month dental treatment plan. The next thing I have to do is get a tooth extracted in a month. I'm doing something that I've never done.

I'll be honest. I haven't visited the dentist much, so I have had many visits. That's another story, though. This year I'm being rebuilt for a new beginning. I love that I'm writing again because I'm capturing it all.

I'm glad I chose to write this as soon as I got in from my walk because everything is still fresh as I'm typing this. There's a stillness in my home. I can still hear raindrops gently splashing on puddles on my rooftop.
