It's spring! Okay, maybe it's too soon to smell in our neck of the woods; however, it's coming you just have to look for it! I know I have mentioned that I love my husband dearly and think he's the greatest thing since...well, sliced bread of course! But there's something else that just makes him soo...appealing to me! It's that he always takes the time to find the little things in life.
Last night Sean and I went for a walk on a metroparks trail. It was so quiet and well, COLD! He forced me to wear a jacket (I fought since I had a sweatshirt on). Then, when we got to the car, he mentioned he also grabbed me some gloves...I laughed at his thoughtfulness. We arrived to the trail; and let it be known, I think it had dropped 5 degrees since we left the house; I then bundled up as he helped me put on my jacket (quite the gentleman).
We began our venture holding hands down the trail and nodding our heads to the other brave souls walking. Then, thats when it happened...we heard the sway of the branches and both looked up hoping not to find a tree branch about to fall...and then in the midst of the Cuyahoga River, we saw it!! Well, Sean saw it and pointed it out. The trees are starting to bud! Yes! Then, looking down at the ground, there we saw daffodils were starting to peer out of the ground. Yay....there is light at the end of the jackets, gloves and seeing your breath when you breathe.
You see, yesterday starting out on our walk; I DIDNT want to go at all. I was too wrapped up on how stressed I am with work, being pregnant, selling the condo, trying to be a good wife, daughter, friend, cousin, etc. It's like I feel that I am finding myself all wrapped up in one big stress-ball. Then, here's my husband to balance me out and point out the little things; such as the trees budding, or being caring enough to think of me being cold and pack me gloves.
So, here's my recommendation. Take a moment for you. Take a moment to look around and see how things are changing in everyday life. It's so easy to get wrapped up in little things or involved in day to day stress that we typically miss the beginning of spring where things start fresh and new. It's also a good time to reflect on what we do have in life and may take for granted from time to time.
