Live your life so that the fear of death can never enter your heart. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the morning light. Give thanks for your life and strength. Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living. And if perchance you see no reason for giving thanks, rest assured the fault is in yourself.

– Chief Tecumseh, Shawnee Indian Chief

This source photo was taken on my neighbour’s front lawn.   All hail spring.  It makes finding the joy in living that much easier.
