I'm grateful for the blooming that's finally happening here in my home state! I know that for some the blooming that happens this time of year makes them miserable but it's so PRETTY!! I love watching things come to life and open up.  I think it speaks of hope.  The hope that there is new life to bloom even when something looks dead. I guess you could say that my gratefulness for the blooming going on right now is two-fold, a pleasure for my eyes and hope for my heart.
