I was lying in bed this morning, feeling my Monday morning blues (but on a Tuesday – I stayed an extra day due to Tony’s root canal). From my bed and my contemplations about the coming weeks, I heard geese outside. Early Sunday morning, as Tony and I lay in bed, we heard birds chirping as the sun filtered through the blinds. I smelled sunshine and warmed concrete as I took his dog for a walk on Monday.
The clouds may have been grey and dimming on the past three spring-like days, but it did nothing to hamper my mood and my hope and the start of a frenzy – spring madness is setting in.
It seems that year after year when warm weather rolls around, I’m embarking on a new part of my life. First it was college, then a break-up, then a big role in The Crown and then senior year. Every warm breeze and every green leaf brought with it a promise of a fresh start and perspective.
This year is no different and may, in fact, be the biggest change of all. I’m moving to a new city, quitting a full-time job with benefits to move to a freelance one without. I’m leaving my family and friends behind and starting with a new group of friends and family. I’m living on my own for the first time ever.
There are a lot of changes going on, none of them small, and I’m just glad it’s not happening in the middle of winter when I usually feel really crappy. There’ll be sunshine and warmth to punctuate my every move during my new life – inspiration at its finest.
