spring equinox

how silly. don't we all commit to making serious changes about four times a year... at the solstices? we ask ourselves what really is important and what we should change, what we should purge from our lives etc.

this morning i woke up, feeling the spring unlike any other morning until now. i made a mean strong cup of coffee, and decidedly am waking before i should. i have things to do. i turned on the heat (the forecast calls for snow and rain today.) and now... i think i should go to yoga. i was not going to..... i was going to skip my favorite class for the second week in a row, but perhaps the cleansing is good. both in and out of home. the focus on myself and now what is and isn't, what needs and what has been done around me.

too much time i focus on what has been done... or not finished, and do not see the smaller changes i can make... the little things that create space and comfort.

so today i will first make space in myself for this upheaval. then i will make space in this house we call home and is very slowly starting to feel like one.

i will water my plant babies.... arugula, summer squash, lettuce mix and who ever else has been brave enough to push through the soil into a snowy march day. (myself included)
