It was a beautiful day here in the Mid-Atlantic. We had unseasonably high temps and it was a day for spring fever.
Sometimes on days like this when all seems right in my world I wonder how it gets any better than this.
I think back to all the springs in my life. I remember times I took a mental health day just to feel the newness of the season. I recall a lilac dress I had when I was a senior in high school and how I felt like spring personified. I recollect writing poetry and being in love and just feeling like I was walking on air.
Here's my joy list from today:
- The high clouds in the bright blue sky
- The scent of the spring blooms
- The pretty tulips out front at the building where I work
- Flowering trees along the highway
- The feel of the sun
- The flower sale we had as a fundraiser and the pretty begonias I bought
- Seeing everyone break out their warm season clothes
- Knowing our dear little cat was spending most of the day on his favorite perch on the sun porch
- Thinking about the unfolding days of May and how many will be like this
- Entertaining the idea of playing hookey and skipping work
- Coming home to smile at the porch swing back out on the porch now that it's warmed up
- Thanking God for a beautiful day!
