Spring- Rebirth, Revive, Relearn
Spring feels like a transition period to me. The longer days and brighter nights are a very welcome change after the darkness of winter. There is still a slight chill in the air but some warmth is finally beaming down on us. I find there is a real sense of anticipation as the excitement of summer beckons closer. I cant say i'm all that excited about summer, i don't have any plans or much to look forward to, but i do love to see the new flowers that sprout up. I've had my wild flower guidebook out and already spotted some new floral friends- the Cuckooflower, Coltsfoot and wild Snakeshead Fritillary! Love that one. I find the changing seasons a little challenging as i become used to my routines and a new season brings need for a new routine. Takes a bit of getting used to. I love Spring though; the blue skies and bird song and splashes of daffodils are a delight to behold. I had dreamed up a cute little story about a family of field mice and their restless children during the winters hibernation; sadly a little research unearthed the truth that field mice in fact do not hibernate. Ah well, i'll add it to my ever growing Idea Archive. I am now home from Mexico and though hardy striving, it was the right choice and for once, i don't feel like i did the wrong thing. Well, i do a bit but its a quiet whisper and i can ignore it. The pneumonia came and went again, i'm feeling much better but rather lacking in energy. I'm playing around with aromatherapy oils, label designs and some new littlebird ideas. Nothing seems to move very fast with me but maybe that's okay, as long as i am moving. Why is it that i don't do the things that i should? Chronic faffer over here. I went a long walk today to take photos and spotted rabbits, lambs, a ladybird, bees, squirells and countless birds. It feels like such a priviledge to be granted a glimpse of wild little creatures. A hedgehog next please. I'm not sure what else to say so lets just keep things simple. Instead of expecting lots of progress and action, i propose that for April we simply; appreciate the beauty that is, be where we are and feel hopeful that the coming months will bring us sunshine and joy. Imagine yourself like a little animal waking up from a long hibernation, trying to adapt to the new season; its exciting but a little overwhelming at times. Dont attempt too much too soon. Sometimes its okay to be still and slow and simply be.
