The heavy load of clothes are lightening slowly, now its light cardigans and no scarves. Loose that winter duvet and no more heating on full blast. Start taking the kids to the part again and in light jackets its almost time for sandals. So throw away that winter coat and get use to those brighter evenings again.
THE CHILL OF WINTER
The wind is like a Piranha cutting at your fingers and leaving them numb and icy. Woow goes the wind taking your breath away gushing as it passes sometimes taking scarves and hats,attacking baggy skirts. woosh goes the wind as it leaps and pulls and sucks. Woosh then its gone leaving calm and quiet silence goes the peace that is left after the wind. Here it comes again tug knocking door knockers and tearing tiles off roves, turning over cars and blowing traffic cones over.
Today is a good day! Its Spring and the sun has emerged from behind the clouds. The mood is lifted and the spirit is joyous. Plus I treated myself to a nice flowery silky long summer dress and sandals yesterday, the first of my summer buys.
I know I look good!
The sun is up and has been for some time by 5.00am and it stays up until past 9.00pm. All I have to do now is try and make it to the park in the evening and find things to full my June and Summer holiday, day trips I expect as I am saving up until next year combining my existing savings and next years to go abroad, probably Spain again because the family holiday there was my best ever.
The kids are all a year older more mature and verbal, their summer clothes are all too small all tight and uncomfortable, making my 2 year old look like pot bellied people.
My daughter looks long and spider like now waiting to fill out into a lady with her little 9 year old self.
My eldest son looks like a young man yet not quite an adult 15 with his high pitched voice and mostach and definitely in need of new clothes at least every 6 months not matter how big you buy them.
Than back to me good job baggy is in because I have lost a stone or so in a year.
Today is the day! For realising your full potential. Drop all your fears of failure, be inspired by this to do something you have been meaning to do for a while but been too afraid or unmotivated enough to achieve it. Join a gym, enrol on a course, do your degree, relax your hair, have a spring clean, save for that holiday of a lifetime, make a pack lunch and go sit in the park and have it, cook something other than chicken for dinner, try cooking something you have had the recipe in the back of your cupboard for a year. Do something different spontaneous, go on be wild, be vivacious. Go on be brave daring go for it.
As the weather warms up you will have more energy to do things due to the sun so be BRAVE.
