I've got it bad. Every year about this time I get a case of the same thing. And, without a doubt, this year it has hit harder and more fierce. It started about two weeks ago.
It's name...SPRING FEVER. And I have it bad.
It probably has something to do with the black snow that is right outside my window. I just want it to go away so I can see if there is still grass underneath. I NEED TO SEE SOME GREEN! It may just be time for me to head to the local nursery and buy a new plant or two. The best thing about today is that it's raining...which means the snow will melt a little and I might actually see my yard again soon!
Is it just me, or does everyone feel happy with something new? (I know, someone reading wants to insert a sermon here about how only God can make us truly happy, and with Him we don't need anything else. I know. But I'm not talking about eternal, deep-in-your-heart joy...I'm talking about "If I don't see a little Spring or if I don't do something different around this house I'm going to LOSE IT")
The other day I put a stool that was in one room into another room....and it felt new (even though it wasn't).
(And I bought a new book...."The FIND"...geared me up for some Spring bargains)
This morning I washed and folded my dishtowels. Bor-ing! Yes, but something about a pretty dishtowel makes my kitchen feel "new".
It doesn't take much to change my attitude...it doesn't even take me going to Target. Usually all it takes is a pair of "fresh eyes" to see what I already have and how I can move it around to make it "new".
Don't get me wrong...I'm all for an extreme home makeover or a little shopping therapy....but when the budget doesn't allow it, and your insides are screaming for a little change, something sitting in another room may just need to be moved around a little.
I think the cat is feeling Spring Fever, too. She has seriously followed me around all day WHINING...maybe she has a case of something else...something that involves male cats.
But whatever it is, she's got it bad, too!
WE ALL WANT OUT!
