Does This Spark Joy?
Spring is my absolute favorite. Blossoms. My birthday. Warm weather. Sunglasses. Flip flops. What is there NOT to love?? Really? Don’t even whine at me about the pollen or you can’t handle the humidity. It will pass. When I see the yellow dust on the minivan, it brings a huge smile to my face and makes me want to dance. I know, you with the death the grip on the Kleenex, I see you rolling your eyes. Let me dance my jig.
I have been home over a week now from my trip to the great Northwest, not only did I unpack my suitcase, but also my Spring wardrobe. Ummm. Wardrobe sounds intense. Let me try again, my Spring pieces.
Does anyone else have trouble with this transition? This is my only issue with Spring. I walked into my closet and started throwing clothes into a bag that didn’t “spark joy” and well, there isn’t much left anymore. To be completely transparent (and I will because this is my space) I am not excited about shorts, much less a bathing suit right now. Winter fluff.
The countdown is on until my birthday (the LAST year in my 30’s) and well, bathing suits. I feel a list of fresh, new goals coming.
For now, Spring definitely does bring me SO much joy. In the words of my very wise daughter in the Wal-Mart gardening department, “this is like my best dream”.
Does Spring feel like new beginnings and a fresh start for you? Do you love Spring as much as me? Am I crazy??
“See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19 NIV
