Welcome to Spring. Finally. It's starting to get warmer, the grass is getting greener, and, despite the fact that my friends in California have taken great pains to rub it in incessantly about how warm and sunny it is on the left coast (mid 50's, biking at Big Sur, ugh..we still have snow banks), there is still a sense of New Englander/Puritan style optimism in the air here in New York. Something about Spring in the northeast, a sense of relief, the belief that winter has finally let up and we can have a life again...can come out of the cold and breathe once more.
I have come out of a long, cold winter, one filled with lots of doubt and a chilling sense of locked rigidity. But thaws happen, inevitably, and with the thaw, comes the new growth and new life of Spring. New shoots growing out of the old life, new possibilities from the frozen ground.
A life of hope and joy. Ah, the possibilities...
