jasmine soothes my soul

This is the view out of my bedroom window. It faces southeast so I tend to keep the curtains closed most of the winter. As the earth shifts and the sun no longer hits at such a short angle, I open up the view. I don't see the yard that needs some serious trimming, I see and smell the jasmine. It's one of the few flowers that makes me stop and breathe in deep. I can close my eyes and feel hope resettle in my soul.
