Coming Out of the Hole

Today was my second favorite kind of day – the kind where the sky is blue and the weather is warm and you can just feel that spring is around the corner.

I am so not a winter person!   Winter makes me want to crawl in bed and pull the covers over my head and eat thick, chowdery soups.  Ok, so I don’t eat soup in bed but you get the idea.  I get fat and depressed and cranky all the time.  I don’t want to exercise, I don’t want to cook right, and I don’t want to do much of anything at all.

Spring, though.  Spring is the sign that summer is right around the corner.  You get a taste of what it’s going to be like.  The days get longer, the sky gets bluer, and the little green bits start poking their heads up out of the soil.

Today I drove around with the sunroof open and the music cranked and I felt the happy coming back.   It was like a huge sigh….ahhhhhhh!

Suddenly I’m feeling my groove coming back.  I’m feeling like I can get back on the wagon and actually get my exercise *gasp!* mojo back.

I know it’s still cold.  I know I can’t start the garden or count on the weather yet, but it’s coming and that’s enough.  It’s enough to flip that switch in my head that gets turned off every November and makes me crawl in a hole.  The endless winter is almost over.

Let the games begin!
