Spring

Guess what People? Today I walked outside and (here comes the cool part....wait for it...wait for it...) COULD ACTUALLY FEEL THE HEAT OF THE SUN!!!!! It was even in my eyes! In fact, it was so bright outside that when I went back into my house I couldn't see anything...which of course usually leads to the tripping and bumping and falling but I'm not gonna go into that. My point is;

Spring time is officially here!

Everybody say YAY!!!!!!

It was amazing! I could feel the heat, the sunshine. I could hear birds singing all around. I could feel the green grass between my toes...ok fine. It's still yellow from winter, but hey! It's Texas, that's what you get.
Anyway, I don't about you but I was made for spring. I was made to hear the birds, to feel the sun, to lay in the warm grass. There's just something about it that awakens part of me. It's almost as if part of my spirit hybernates during the winter like the bears do. Yeah, I could definitely feel a new "spring" in my step, (if you'll parden the expression.) lol
So today, in honor of the beautiful spring time weather, I went outside to do one of my favorite sunshine activities; Swinging.
If you didn't know, I have a rather fantasticaly large love for swinging. And, I also happen to have a rather large tree swing right in front of my house. Perfect.
So, today I honored the tradition kept by kids all over the world and swung on my swing to my little hearts content. It was heaven.
It's in those little moments that I find the true me. The me thats never experienced a pain or care in the world. Just a little girl swinging and singing silly songs in the sunshine. Perfectly content, and soaking up the wind and the rays.
I'll say it again. I was born for spring.
