Am I losing my mind, or are signs of spring beginning to creep in? The past couple of days have started out foggy, but that has burnt off and we have been left with glorious sunshine and (reasonably) warm temperatures!
Isn't it great?
Added to that is the bizarre, but annual, desire to clear the house of any junk and just give it a thorough clean and tidy through!
Every day as I look out of my office window I can see the wonderful and gloriously quirky daffodils nodding away as they sway in the breeze. It makes me happy! I love these wee flowers! Next on my list of things to look out for will be the budding of the trees and the cherry blossoms in the courtyard! When they are out in full bloom I know it'll be time to get the tent out of storage and dust off the barbeque in preparation for our usual spring/summer adventures!
I find spring a beautifully optimistic season. The days are getting longer and warmer, the flowers begin to bloom and the trees burst into life again. It reminds me that life's trials are temporary and though at times, it may feel as though I'm trudging through the winter muddy slush with my toes frozen and the bottom of my jeans wet and filthy, spring is always just around the corner. The trials will end and there will be a respite - a time to recuperate and recharge before the next lot of buffeting wind, rain, sleet and hail settles in.
So, go on - take a deep breath, smile and be happy. Enjoy the moment!
