Well hello, lovely.

 

Remember how Christian and I planted bunches of tulips all around our yard last fall? And, how they were starting to bud meaning that there was hope of spring in the future? Yeah, well they have been working hard at sprouting and eventually bloomed this past weekend…  much to my surprise, they weren’t tulips at all. Instead we have hoards of daffodils popping up out front and slowly making their way up out back. Not that I’m complaining because who can look at a daffodil and not perk up. They have to be one of the happiest looking flowers that ever lived.

Kissing those winter blues buh-bye.

There’s something about winter that always brings me down a couple of notches. It’s gray and dreary, and while I love curling up to watch a movie just as much as the next girl, it isn’t exactly the most mood boosting, exciting thing there is to do out there. Most of the time I feel stuck inside because its cold, its windy, its cold and windy or, you know, it’s snowing or something like that.

I feel my energy start to drain right after Christmas. I love Christmas and the joyousness of that holiday can drag me through the first month or so of dreary. But from there on out it’s a battle of wills. Me vs. Jack Frost. And, I’m sorry to report that it looks like Mr. Frost will be taking home the prize this year. Jerk.

With that said. today marks the first day of spring – which means that as I just typed that I may have almost peed my pants with joy. Who’m I kidding I did pee my pants with joy. In order to help myself crawl out of this freezing cold winter cave I’ve found myself in I’ve been digging all the positive things out there. Positive quotes, the pretty fricken flowers, strawberries, mantras, and, you know, spring in general. Since I’m feeling like there is once again hope on this planet I thought I’d share the happy inspiration that I’m digging. Maybe it will be a couple posts, maybe a series, maybe a weekly thing. Meh, who knows. But, today I’m happy and I want to drag you into the happy with me.
