I am sitting here in the warm sunshine, being serenaded by a
very happy robin. Oh it makes me want
spring to come today! As has happened
every year for as long as I can remember, it is March and I am longing for
spring to come and wash away the lethargy of winter. This year for some reason we are holding on
to daytime temps in the 20’s and 30’s. I
want those temps to climb into the 40’s so I can do my walk without the
restriction of a face warmer. It is
harder to breathe properly with one of those things on but I have to wear one
if the temps are too cool.
I think I would like to take a trip to the ocean this
year. There is no place on earth like
the ocean to bring your perspective back into alignment. It’s even better when you can find a stretch
of sand with no one else or very few others for a short while. It gives you the space you need to feel the
full impact of that beautiful water, the crashing of the waves. If I were not so terrified of hurricanes I
believe I could live by the ocean and be quite content. So, we shall see if we can work in a trip to
the ocean; if not then I think I would like to take a trip to Lake Erie. It’s a long way from the ocean but it is
pretty.
We are reading (audio CD’s) the Harry Potter books again and
we are enjoying them very much. This is
after listening to The Lord of the Rings again.
We purchased the audio CD for The Hobbit as well. I am so happy that Don is into these books
with me. It means I can have my fill of
them (not that I think I will ever have my fill) with no guilt. There seem to be many things we enjoy doing
together, a good thing I say, since we are committed to the relationship at
this point.
Well I suppose I have rattled on long enough. There is nothing else for me to do today but
read, play on the computer or listen to music.
Maybe I’ll just sit here in the sunshine for a while longer and listen
to the robin sing and dream about spring…
There is always hope.
