SPRING!!!
Well, at least it is a spring like day today! Sunny, about 50-something degrees with nary a cloud in the sky, and my day off-(YAY!!) so I was able to take advantage of all this springy-ness.
Anyhoo, I was out doing a few leisurely laps around the park, and I couldn't help but notice all of the little kiddies running around, playing ball, swinging in the playground, chasing robin redbreasts, and just being kids. It was so nice to see all of the people out enjoying the sun and this beautiful park that I am fortunate enough to live right across the street from.
It was cool to see the newly hatched(I think, least they looked to be that way) bees feeding on the nectar of the barely risen clover, so refreshing to breathe deeply, and catch nothing but clean air, (with just a hint of water in it), so incredibly rejuvenating to sit on the park bench and let the rays of the sun that is getting stronger every day penetrate my whiter than white face. It's a day like today that just makes a person glad to be alive, and aware enough to enjoy it.
And one last thing about the kiddies; do you ever wish that you could go back to being, say, two years old, just for a brief tick of the clock,and have the ability to truly enjoy being pushed in a carriage while you nap? Or be able to retain that feeling of complete comfort and safety and dependency, and draw from it in adulthood? I mean, I know a few people that possess fabulous memories, even remembering when they were three years old, but not one of them confesses to being able to recall the aforementioned. Wouldn't it be cool? Or is it that we still have the ability to feel that way, that being pushed in a carriage in the sun while we nap state, but are just too jaded or busy or stressed out to see it for what it is and enjoy it when we get it?
