seasons

I forgot just how much I missed the changing of seasons. For the past ten years, I have been living in parts of the country that have great warm weather, but no change. I always knew that I missed it, but never realized how much until now. The daffodils are popping up everywhere, the cherry blossoms are blooming, the birds go crazy at the crack of dawn, and the grass is turning green again. I love the smell in the air- it’s fresh. My windows are open and I feel like I just woke up from a long sleep. I am shedding my big heavy coat and taking longer walks than normal. This changing of the seasons stuff...it’s heavenly.

I woke up this morning and realized that it’s not just the weather that has me thinking...it’s the seasons in my life changing. It’s fresh, it’s lively. I’m able to shed all of the crap that I’ve been wearing and enjoy this walk of life so much more. I feel this amazing freedom to be completely open- like I’ve just literally woken up. It’s been a hell of a long season in my life- 10 years nearly- of the same thing- the same heat. I forgot how incredible it is when the season finally changes. I feel like a new person- like I’m getting a fresh start. I can’t wait to see what this season brings. I’m ready for it.

This changing of the season stuff- it’s heavenly.
