A Taste of Spring
The weather this week decided to give us a small taste of spring and it was just what I needed to get me out of the winter blues I was feeling due to the events discussed in my pervious post. Wednesday dawned gorgeously sunny after sleeping in (a luxury that I get on days off). It actually got up to about 80 degrees. I washed off my front porch and cleaned the table and chairs out there in prepartion for spring. They were coated with a thick layer of grime thanks to the wind, rain, and dust we have been blasted with in the past few months. All I wanted to do was to be outside and bask in the warmth of the sun. I sat on the porch in my freshly cleaned chair and just enjoyed being outside. I picked up a novel for awhile and for a few hours I was distracted from the list of things that have been weighing on my mind. It was energizing. I felt my mood had been lifted 100%. Even after that sun began to set behind the trees I felt good. I can't wait for days like that every day, for spring to arrive for good. Today we were back down to 60 instead of 80 but I can live with that for now. Wednesday's sunshine was just what I needed to recharge my batteries and take a fresh new outlook on life. Don't we all need that once and awhile? Sometimes it's the little things like a sunny day.
