Sunshine

Who can be unhappy in the sun? Even as a I sit and stare at the slow melting slush in the pool. I know the good days are coming. It can come slowly, I have no issue with that. Summer has unspoken promises, I still have a hard time saying wishes out loud. I enjoy them inside my head, waiting for the day they arrive. This is the time I can look back at the previous months and pick out the good with a clear mind. Now is when I make plans and goals that seem more feasible. Frosty mornings and tons of rain can’t take that away.

Time to take off the auto pilot and start living in the moment. Feels real good to be present. My cat is nuts, bounding from one end of the house to the other, but it is nice to see her acting the way I feel. A little skip in your step, more smiling, finding humour, let life be easy. My perennials are coming back to life slowly and that’s what I feel like. New growth, small buds, greenery, regenerating from the earth. I did some way to early garden work yesterday, but my hands in the soil was healing. Spring is renewal, or moving forward and I am ready for that.

Time to get on the happy train, “All Aboard!” I know some people feel about spring what I feel about winter. Sometimes we have to wait for our season. Everything will be okay, your season will arrive. Try to make the most out of the journey. Make some promises to yourself, make some wishes on the outside or on the inside. Give yourself some hope, dream a little. Self care, self love… always love.
