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.
