I realized lately that I am being such a downer. I have so much going for me. The boy is so happy and he is doing his dream job – sound design! We have a new apartment and a beautiful cat. I have an opportunity to figure out what I am going to do with my future. Which path I will take. It is exciting and frightening, but spring is here and it is beautiful! Unbelievably beautiful. When I was younger I never appreciated spring. You’re in school and spring just makes you think of summer and getting out of school. It really wasn’t until I moved to NYC that I noticed and paid attention to spring. New Yorkers walk everywhere. Because of that you see the minuet changes in the world around you. Especially the trees. The tiny green buds forming into gorgeous blossoms. Even when the blossoms fall you are left with tiny precious green leaves beginning to unfurl. It makes me believe in magic and miracles. Here in NYC you have all the seasons! The lovely spring and fall and the extremes temperatures of summer and winter. Regardless of me preferring one season to the next (because really – it is not my choice), it is beautiful to watch the little things change. I have to remember that my life is changing and for the better. There is a tree outside the bedroom window of my new apartment that has clusters of yellow-green flowers and I can’t wait for it to sprout all its leaves and then watch them drop this fall. Little pleasures and the magic of nature.
