Good grief! What a winter we’ve had in New England…and frankly everywhere in the United States! Uhhhh…but we made it. No snow anywhere right now at the beginning of Spring. All 24 inches are gone. Melted. Irrigating the Earth.

This is the first seriously awful weather since my infamous back/spinal surgery on Labor Day of 2023. And I made it! I did fall once during the last snowstorm…cleaning off my car. Slid on the ice and was laying on the parking lot before I knew it! Ha! I hope I looked graceful on our closed circuit cameras. Haha!

And this past winter was just exhausting! I was talking to a fellow church member about this who’s about half my age. He said the young people are as exhausted as us seniors. Everybody is just tired!

But it is now Spring! Yay! And slowly the inner feeling of bliss is emerging. Energy is coming back! I’m actually looking to the future for whatever it is I want to keep doing. What helps, of course, is that I don’t have to have my regular tests and doctor visits for 6 months now. So everything is looking up! Yay again!

I’m beginning to clean my condo. I’m changing my winter flowers (silk) for the summer bunch. I feel like I want to take on even more activities than I already have. What’s happening to me? Spring is happening! It’s actually a great name for the season after Winter. You Spring forward, you have a Spring in your step…it’s a word that invites activity and action. I want to make more music and play and sing!

One thing I seriously want to get back in sync is me. Surgery and tests and doctor visits, plus other aches and pains due to healing of all the parts involved has been a frustrating process. I’m fine but there was a sort of disconnect in the “flow” of being a human. My walking has relaxed very much considering it was stiff-ish after surgery and most of the past 2 1/2 years. My surgery area is a but stiff but it’s a non-factor now even though a measure of stiffness will always be there. I’m emerging as me but with a couple of different accouterments so-to-speak. And that’s just fine. They’re not holding me back at all.

And with Spring comes Easter. It’s a glorious entrance into beautiful weather and a fresh approach to life in general. It’s literally a breath of fresh air. Exuberant! Exciting!

So I’m looking forward to moving ahead into beautiful weather and all it brings, and all I am excited to accomplish! What about you? How are you emerging from the oppressive winter into a beautiful Spring? And yes, it does involve pie. My plans and solutions to problems always involve a nice slice of your favorite pie. Cheers to a beautiful and abundant Spring!
