Mmmmmmm, can you feel that??? Can you hear it? Turn up your face? I bet you feel it too. Thawing... This afternoon I went with my girls to downtown where we giggled like school girls over ice-cream toppings, danced in the gazebo, swung on swings like little children, rode on Lyle the Crocodile, and planned which cute little house we were going to fix up to live in. Why the sudden joy-filled afternoon? Simple: it's springtime!!! Layers and layers of wintertime coldness and introversion is coming undone like a new little blossom in me while I feel myself thaw out, my toes see the sunshine, my body embraces the first few freckles of spring. Oh this is a good day.
I was looking for a picture to represent this moment of winter turning into spring, and I found another lady's blog where she was talking about why it was important to take a moment to swing. Ladies and gentlemen, it IS important. How often do we find ourselves caught in a routine which is necessary, but totally unstimulating. Successful, but not joyful. Today, we are given the perfect excuse to get out of this humdrum routine. IT IS SPRING! Let it go. Let the worries, let the cares, let it all go, put on those shorts or that skirt and SWING. You won't regret it and I am willing to be that you won't be able to stop smiling in the process. You might even find yourself giggling a little to yourself. This is your moment, this is your day. Embrace the sunshine. I give you permission! In the words of my friend Louis: "grab your coat and get your hat, leave your worries on the doorstep, life can be so sweet, on the sunny side of the street!"
