spring has sprung!

… maybe.

part of the joy (and frustration) of living in the midwest is that there tend to be anywhere between 3-7 “false springs” before the true spring takes root and the weather starts to look up.

while this can be disheartening, i try to look at this period as a time to really settle in to the idea of the hectic hustle and bustle that is summer and take stock of what i want to carry with me as i move forward.

i also take this time to deep clean my home of the winter stuffiness and whatever baggage (both physical and emotional) remains from the sleeping months.

this summer is one that i’m looking forward to for various reasons, but mostly, i am just thrilled with the idea to get out in the sun and soak up the warm, soothing rays of light and breathe the fresh air of the outdoors again. it’s been a long time coming and not something i take for granted.

what are you looking forward to this spring?

i’m ready for spring.

winter is a good time for taking it easy and rejuvenating yourself and your life and it’s one of the needed cycles that we must go through to maintain balance and happiness in life, but i am sick and tired of the cloudy, snowy, cold weather.

give me birds singing and sun shining and plants growing.

i want to lay out on a big, warm rock and soak up the sun’s rays like a giant lizard without a care in the world.

i want to go on adventures and long drives without having to pack half an antarctic expedition’s worth of cold weather gear with me.

mostly, i just want to not be trapped indoors anymore.

i have faith that we’ll get there, most likely only in a few weeks’ time, but it’s the waiting that’s the hard part.

patience never was a thing i was very good at.
