There are days in the dead of Winter when there is ice and snow on the roads and I wish I was somewhere else. Somewhere warm. Then I remember the allergies, the horrible sweltering heat, and the crime in a bigger city and I feel very grateful for living where I do. If I ever need any other reasons I just look to the seasons. Four seasons each distinct and wonderful in their own right. The Desert has beauty as well but I was raised in the North and somehow that will always stay with me.
The season of Spring alone is a constant reminder that this is the place for me. The sun has been shining all week and I have never appreciated it more! The snow is melting and spirits are high for the most part. Both of my daughters where a little cranky today and I am very tired but it was a good day regardless. The best part of Spring is the return of the songbirds. I hear them every morning now and they give me the impetus I need to get going. I will be needing that on a Friday!
