Renewal

Well, I’m not sure if Spring is here or not because everyday I believe that it might be, it snows the next day. It’s a bit overcast today and chilly once again, but the wildlife in my suburban backyard makes me think Spring might indeed be here. There are rabbits everywhere, every time I look out the window there are a few more joining in the chase. They are multiplying like..well....rabbits! We filled the feeders outside and there are all kinds of birds here that I have never seen before. But my guess is that if they’re all here, then Spring must be too. As I make my way out from underneath my winter blanket of “blahs”, I am reminded of a pledge I made to myself around the new year to meet age 40 this July healthier than I have been in awhile. I have, in fact, done almost everything in my power to make that pledge obsolete. However, the Spring reawakens everyone and everything and I am no different. It’s April, and while I have managed to all but sabotage every effort to make the necessary changes, I am still a bit (and only a bit!) better off than I was at the beginning of last year so I guess that is a jumping off point, right? I believe there is still time to make a difference in my health before I leave my 30’s in the dust. So here it is..my “re” pledge to do something good for myself and hope that it makes the difference. One can dream..right? Happy Spring!

Quote of the Day- “We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers. They see things in the soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let our dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days till they bring them to sunshine and light.” ~~Woodrow Wilson
