Tangled branches scrape and catch,
Scattered leaves take flight.
Yet my roots are deep and strong,
Holding fast against the storm.

If you can January and February, you can March right on
My maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Ragsdale Prease, had a lot of idioms, wise sayings and adages she shared with us. One was about the third month of the year. She would say, "If you can January and February, then you can March right on".

Love this! Steady and quietly powerful. “Scattered leaves take flight” feels wild and vulnerable.
Roots are essential, great words
