It seems to me that children typically start fresh every day. And we adults...do not. And it seems to me that in restoring ourselves, it helps to be like a child, to assume the necessary disposition—open, curious, unfettered, and, er...not so damn uptight?
Dear friends, I know I have been whining about this for weeks now, and I apologize for that, but I think I think I THINK Spring is finally ready to get on the fucking dance floor!
(Sorry...still a tad pissed off.)
Sure, today's forecast high is a mere -5C / 23F...and yes, that's still a heap of smoldering garbage BUT, if I adjust my disposition to childlike pep talk mode, I must admit that it's SO MUCH SUNNIER here FINALLY the sun the sun the sun. Despite the temperature, there's (almost) melting! That's a win! Plus, I HAVEN'T SHOVELED SNOW FOR (nearly) 24 HOURS.
What I'm saying is this: I've lowered my expectations and it's embarrassing but I'm actively summoning some version of childlike ignorance to cope with this interminable transition aka I'll take what I get and pretend the recess bell just rang and call it STARTING FRESH and if you live in northwestern Canada, that the best one can do.
If being less uptight doesn't work, does anyone want to meet up and scream?
We could schedule a time for everyone, worldwide. At 6 PM everyone go outside and scream if you're aggravated. I really hate cold 🥶 weather.
ReplyDelete...could my aches and pains be preventing me from starting fresh this morning???
ReplyDeleteKeep a happy thought! Once we have our big April blizzard, things will be fine after that.
ReplyDeleteYou've waited so long, that surely spring-nearly-summer is really just around the corner.
