It has been a very long winter. Through the downtime of this season I have concluded that all I wish in the not-so-distant future is this: to live a life where the grass is green, the birds always sing and the most complicated event is the desicion in how I want to spend time with the people whom I love.. Of course, I want a little adventure story to be tossed in once in awhile for good measure! Now that we are on the brink of the new season, the possibilities of growth seem endless.. The sun will begin to shine brighter and the outside world will once again become our playground.
Spring is the perfect transition period for new beginnings...
A childlike excitement always fills me this time of year. It is like we have rested in a wintery slumber to be awakened into full bloom. We have Spring cleaning, Spring break and the glory of Easter in the next coming weeks.
Spring cleaning is like getting rid of excess baggage. As much as I dislike having to clean, being able to open up the windows and fill the rooms with fresh air while ridding myself of the junk is a weight off my shoulders. I tell you what, I am going to have one epic garage sale this year..
Then there is the concept of Spring break. Well, I am going to try and get a break at least. Being an adult and working can put a damper on things, but I am determined to make some time. Life is too short. I am hoping to have a few small adventures with my soul matey, Bryon. We are coming upon our first full year together in the next month, and our love couldn't get any sweeter!
Then there is EASTER! The glory of Easter.. every year I seem to have my eyes opened wider to the bigger picture of this amazing day. Our Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifice is the most important moment in history. I am ever thankful for the love of God. In my goal to continue my spiritual growth, I have taken Lent more serious than years before. I have a book of daily prayers (thanks Bryon) that I reflect upon every night. I have also taken up more random acts of kindness and have tried to stick with meatless Fridays, etc. I have enjoyed the experience greatly, and I plan to continue forth with these habits for the rest of the year. Why just stop at the end of forty days?
Also, I never thought I would say this and actually be excited, it is baseball season! I have had my eyes opened to the fun and excitement of the ball field! Bryon has purchased us season tickets to the Akron Rubber Ducks games. After forcing myself last year to go to a couple games, I have decided I am a fan of this sport. I am into it! Yes, you heard right: Abby likes a sport. I have learned you can't knock it till you've tried it. This was one event that I ended up liking more than I thought I would. So, GO DUCKS! Whoop!
I am hoping to post more personal stories and thoughts soon. Now that Spring is upon us, I know there will be many to come! It is time to wake up from hibernation and experience the world with the wonderment that was missed during the cold days.
Keep your eyes open and see the world change around you in the next coming weeks.. and grow with it.
