I love the time of year when it begins to feel like spring. Once spring is actually here it is great as well, but there is something about the anticipation of spring that is even better than spring itself. It definitely has to do with the weather, but I think there is a smell to it as well. A smell that, to me, always means that good days are coming. Today was one of those “spring is approaching” days here. My kids had lacrosse practice, different times but the same field, thank god! And my husband, who signs my kids up for every sport imaginable and coaches many of them, had the advantage of having to be at work for tonight’s practices. Wtf?!?!? Despite the rush to get to practice and the stress of knowing that homework and dinner and showers are going to be crazy tonight, there are moments of joy in the experience. Being outside, even though it is still a little cold, just brings such happiness and a literal breath of fresh air. So needed after a winter indoors.
