Yesterday, I enjoyed Stephanie Burkhart's short story A Polish Heart.

I couldn't put it down once I started reading. This sweet romance takes place in Poland. It was fun learning about the traditional Easter celebration there, including the Blessing Basket. It was a timely read, with Easter less than a month away. A perfect addition to my preparation for the holiday.

The rest of the day will be spent working on Luck In Love, again. It's starting to come together a little more easily, which perhaps isn't saying much considering what a struggle it has been, but I'm not going to complain.

I'm neither Polish nor Catholic, but I've always loved the Easter Basket. It was something extra special for the day. This year, I think I'll create a new tradition for myself. It won't be quite the same, of course, but it will hopefully allow me to focus on the importance of the holiday by giving me the opportunity to ponder the meaning of the things I put in the basket for Easter.
