that excited spring feeling

Mar 18, 2010

I don’t know how it works for people who live in areas that don’t have a drastic change of seasons, but if you live in Indiana and you’re on the back side of winter, spring often brings with it a change of attitude as well as some blue to replace gray in the sky. The warmer weather makes me want to go buy a new car, strike out on a vacation, do spring cleaning, start yard work, and a whole bunch of other things too numerous to mention.

From the second I noticed this beautiful spring flower pop through the ground, I felt excited. So as I contemplate moving someplace far away from the burg — a place where snow and frigid temperatures are only a memory — I’m wondering…

Would I keep the excited feeling all the time because flowers won’t die and I don’t have to look at one dreary day after another for months out of the year — or would there be nothing left to get excited about?
