The other day I went and I laid outside on a trampoline. The sky was blue, I could hear birds singing, the air was fresh and the sun was shining.
But let's face reality for a minute. I was wearing sweat pants, mukluks, a hoodie, a winter jacket and a toque. There was still snow on the ground and the trees hold no leaves yet. It was cold!
But I stayed out there and I looked up at the blue sky and I knew that the promise of spring was in the air! I could smell it in the breeze and I could feel it in the sunshine on my face. The snow is melting slowly and underneath it new life is waiting to break through the soil.
It's been a long cold winter. Both literally and metaphorically. But spring is coming and I am so thankful!
