Bring On Spring!

I can feel it... I can feel myself being lifted from my funk. It's amazing what just a little bit of sunshine can do for your spirit.... mind you, it's still only 40 degrees, but the snow has melted and the sun has been showing itself every so often. I've finally realized that I have been in a funk for the last few months. I don't know if you would call it depression, or just a funk. Probably a bit of both. I do usually get sicker in the winter, and this winter has been no exception. So, that doesn't help the funky situation any. And I seem to get very discouraged every winter. But, I have been feeling better the last few weeks and that is such a blessing!

I do know that a little bit of sunshine makes my insides happy though, and it's nice to feel some inner happiness. I realize that I have only been going through the motions the last few months... everyday, I do as little as possible to get by and I am still running on empty. I feel I am spread so thinly among all of my callings in life, and I give only 50% to each. I know most mothers and women feel this way, but today I am admitting it. I am getting by though, and taking care of the things that must be done, and I guess that is what counts.

The winter is so cold and dreary though. January is grey and cold, and then there is February; still cold, but a bit less dreary. I am ready for the new beginnings of spring. Come on March.. bring on the tulips; bring on April; bring on Easter; bring on the bright colors; bring on the green grass; bring on the outdoors!

I am ready to be whole again! Bring it on!
