Hey friend, how’s your day? I hope you’ve had a taste of some of the wonderful weather we’ve been having lately. They tell me it’s the official start of spring this weekend, but it’s felt almost like summer the last couple of days. Even though I wasn’t able to get out as much as I would’ve liked, it’s been nice to have it fresh enough to open all the windows and feel the warm air. Nicer still to be able to hear kids playing around the neighbourhood, spring break and good weather made it all sound just enough like summer to make it feel even a couple of degrees warmer. What a pleasure.
So although some of us are still taking bets as to whether we get another late snow storm, I think we can say that it’s looking like we made it through winter. We haven’t got the green haze on the trees yet, that first sign that there really will be leaves again at some point. But the cardinal and I are quite certain that spring is on its way. And both of us can hardly wait. Apparently more than one of us feels like singing.
I don’t know if you’re the same, but spring always makes me think of changes. Not changes to dread, changes to look forward to. I have no idea what changes are in store this season, and frankly there are some real challenges ahead. But I think I’m looking ahead to positive change. And when it comes I hope I can be ready with open arms. After all life is change, no?
Yeah, I’m ready. Wish me luck.
