I have got Spring Fever! I want to rip it out, tear it down, scrub, purge and go. What actually goes on inside the body to signal these emotions? Is it visual? I saw a Robin, a Bluejay, the grass is green, buds on the trees. Is it smell? I can smell the soil, the freshness, it think I smell the warmth. Do we have an internal clock? My Facebook memories on this day, going back are all the same. A switch in everything. Maybe it is the increase of light in the day?

I know there is science behind it. My joints ache, headaches when the sky clouds over, allergies are waking up. I know the chemical composition in the body shifts. I know the Earth tilts a little more towards the sun. I also know, we will probably get more snow. I just want to enjoy whatever magical fairies are lighting a fire in me that feels like new batteries. I feel like the big ice age glacier has peeled back and now is the time to clean up the debris. That perimeter needs to be shovelled and reset.

I am so close to nature, perhaps all the things that lay dormant are ready to come forth for a new season. I’m game, I am in! An instinct of survival or hibernation has lifted. Even if it is just for today. I got stuff to do! I hope everyone has felt this shift. Don’t waste your daylight friends!
