monday morning

the beginning of a new week means... inherently, the end of the weekend. for most of us - definitely for me, the weekend is the highlight. DEFINITELY! concentrated time for family!

getting up this morning to head off to work i experienced the familiar monday morning feeling... big sigh followed by the rush of list making, both mental and on paper, itemizing the appointments, meetings, deadlines, obligations, etc. that seem to fall most often during the week. but then i walked out to my van and everything seemed better, lighter, more positive. and all it took was that warmer breeze that signifies to me spring and all the potential it brings. (potential to me means open windows, parks, cooking out, NOT STUCK INSIDE!) SO, for me this monday morning feels better than the previous mondays of our winter. we DO have something to look forward to...

warm breeze, and then the smell of worms. can't have everything.

Like mother like daughter... I too thought yuck - worms! But I will take worm smells any day if it means Reagan and I can go outside! Plus she can't wait to come up to campus to go walking!

AND you DID come to campus - thanks for the lunch walk and company! plus the worm smell has dissipated.

It's such a good thing to have changing seasons...... it really does make you appreciate the beauty around you! (and the not so great smells - yuck wet worms)

What's wrong with you people? I love the smell of freshly-smushed worms in the springtime!
