Of course that's the way life works: you set yourself up with new intentions and then wander away as soon as you think you've given it your best try. Well, here's to another try.
March has come and ushered in Spring slightly ahead of its predicted arrival and no one could be more thrilled than me. Lettuce and tomato seeds were planted today in egg carton beds with moist, warm blankets of soil to coax them awake. Windows were thrown open to rid the house of stale winter air and rejuvenate it with fresh spring scents.
Items loitering on the to-do list for far too long are finding themselves suddenly crossed off with triumphant gusto.
The compost bucket was drained of its icy water, brought inside and put to use holding fresh asparagus and mushroom stems as the vegetables for a stir-fry dinner found their way to the sous chef's cutting board.
The books waiting to be read seem to push to the forefront of my mind with much greater haste and ambition.
If I didn't know better, I might be tempted to think I had just awoke from a hundred years' sleep this morning, alert and eager to tackle the cobweb areas of my life. Hopefully I wake up tomorrow feeling the exact same way. :)
