spring.?.are you here? it's me..JAMIE!

Dear Spring,

Thank you making an appearance today. I rather enjoyed our time together this afternoon. I do hope you are planning on staying around for a while. I don't think that I can bear Winter anymore with the bitter cold and the rain. Your presence is always welcome and today was no exception.

Love,
Jamie



Seriously though. Today was amazing. There is something about one of the first spring days that just makes me feel giddy. I hate the cold and the dreary skies in the winter..so it's a relief when these days start to happen. I read outside all day today and got some quality writing time & photography time in as well. Its so refreshing to crawl out of the cave from a long and bitter winter (metaphorically speaking as well). I hear others doing the same..I can hear the creak of the swing from the children next door. I hear the screams of children riding past on bikes. I hear the humming of the lawn mower in the distance. Even the birds have come out. The sun, the grass, the flowers blooming, the blue skies...they just make me feel like a new person. It motivates me..makes me want to do things..it relaxes me & brings a sort of inner peace. I smile alot too.

And now I have to go to work.. :(
But in light of working on trying to be more positive..I am just going to say..at least I got to spend the majority of the day outside. (rather than complaining about how much i hate work). Hopefully other people will be too..so that it isn't so chaotic at work!

  2. Spring feels like it's been a long time coming this year, doesn't it? Unfortunately I think we're going strait into Summer in these parts!
