the trees look taller & greener. the flowers look brighter & more colorful. the sky looks more blue & the grass looks greener. it is a time to pull of the jerseys & slip your feet into some sandals & meet the new day with a smile... :-)
my daughter slipped into bed with me early this morning & i felt how cold she was. i asked her why she's got summer pajamas on & her answer to me was: it's spring!! how can i wear warm winter pajamas? her enthusiastic spirit was very contagious & got me fired up for the day.
we started early & baked some cake & cheese straws to take with to go & visit a very dear friend whom i do not get to see often enough. i shared my good news with her that i had resigned this morning & starting a new job in a month. i could bounce ideas around with her & her husband. i always go away feeling uplifted & inspired with tons of good advice from them. they shared an analogy with me: a diesel engine in a vehicle works most economic & to full capacity when loaded heavy. when working with no load it is least economic. so it is in our lives: when trials & challenges are plenty, we get stretched to capacities we didn't know was possible. we learn we can do more than we thought & bear more than we thought. we learn how strong we actually are. we are also more useful to others around us because our experiences make us more understanding of other's actions.
it is good to leave a comfort zone behind & seek new challenges. although i have been very happy where i work now, i am looking forward to a new beginning, a fresh start. i am waiting for the rain...
