Spring

The earth is waking up. New life and color crawls up from the ground, and stirs something that has been asleep in me, too. I notice the dust that has gathered in my home and the few extra pounds I’ve started to carry. The longer days and warmer sun invite me to be active and shake off the cob webs from my home and my soul. Watching nature grow reminds me what I thought was dead within me can start to come alive.
