Spring Cleaning


Ah, the dreaded task of clearing away of your winter things and preparing for sunnier weather...It's a relatively simple task but can be quite monumental when you already have such a busy schedule. And it's always a surprise as to how much crap I have for each season. And every year, I start a new sack of stuff to take to the Goodwill hoping that I will keep my supply of clothes down to the basics and necessities but I still end up with more than I really need. I guess that's a part of being a girl. What I do appreciate about cleaning up my winter things that it feels rather theraputic. I have music playing, the windows are open and it's beginning to rain a little which is good. ( My car has been well pollinated and needs a bath...) It's nice to put away your favorite sweaters for a nice hibernation and replace them with bright colors and patterns for the season. Away with the cold gray days and in with the happy sunny afternoons. And we must not forget your favorite pair of sandals that hug your tired feet at the end of your day with your naked toes peeking out for a nice breath of air...ahhh... I must say that the changing of the seasons is good way to check your stock of 'having too much' and checking in with your mental status clearing away all the crap that you've accumulated during that particular season and brush it away so you can prepare for the new days ahead. I'm looking forward to spring. I'm curious as to what kinds of challenges and adventures that lie ahead for me as well as the 'challenges' that I want to throw myself into. ( one being to quit smoking,ugh.) I'll keep ya posted on my adventures & misadventures. Anyway my dear readers, I hope that you're spring cleaning is sprinkled with warm fuzzies, curious wonders and much fun!

Have a lovely spring! elizinashe
