Spring has sprung a leak and it’s precipitating everywhere….

It’s the end of March and it snowed, is still snowing and who knows how long it will continue to snow.  We have survived the Ides, the Break, daylight savings, Hello Spring and are now desperate to see the lion finally leave us be.

This morning, I awoke to wonderful sunlight streaming through my bedroom windows drawing me from my slumber in the most delightful way… and then I looked outside.  The glare of the newly fallen snow was blinding.  It had snowed again and not the light fluffy white stuff that you can sweep away, this was the heavy moisture laden snow that is perfect for building snowmen, forts and quinzees.  It is this back-breaking, heart attack inducing snow that is playing games with me at the moment.  I grumbled all the way down to the kitchen for my first coffee before getting my winter exercise ( not my spring exercise).

I feel as if I have spent many weekends shovelling snow this year.  However, I must admit that the temperature was quite pleasant when I started and then quite warm and then too warm, as I shovelled a sizeable driveway clear of snow.  The funny thing is, and perhaps it is the exercise released endorphins speaking but as I shovelled the snow, I marvelled at the brilliance of it all.  The world was sanitized, made virginal, ready for new adventures by the heavy white snow.

Spring is a season of new beginnings and this one will be no different.  It will however be unique in its vigorous determination to shield Gaea from the dirt and the horrors of passing time.  How can I be any different?  I feel re-energized, ready to venture into new adventures, all powered by the positivity of spring, virginal snow and the promise of new beginnings.
