It's coming!

Spring is coming! We have rather chilly weather today and forcast for tomorrow, but warm weather is on the way. A couple of days ago, I was surprised by the sudden appearance of a small group of little yellow crocus peeking up out of the middle of dormant thyme. Bright, unaplogetic (it's Lent, you know) wonderous little flowers. I love 'em! And this year, I go into spring with a much better attitude than the last couple of years. I feel better inside and am working on the physical side so that I can get the most out of this spring.

For the last few years I've been excited by the promise of spring, but found the reality to be a mix of that excitement and the living with an energy draining, nameless anxiety. Now, that seems for the most part, to be under control. I have been enjoying things more lately, and have extra excitement for the promises of spring and summer, and all the glorious things the Earth does in those months.

I'm especially grateful this year for the cycle of seasons. This time, when spring and summer roll around, I have another chance to jump in with both feet and wallow around in the all the glory of these coming months!
