May Showers

 “We all have slow days, off days, days we feel tired or uninspired, but they are nothing to concern yourself with. Like the ocean, the stillness is just another of our natural states. Soon, the winds will return, the waves will rise, and your imagination will flow freely again.”

The last week has been full of unmotivation and uninspired. The slow and off days. The cold, heavy, windy days of spring. But yet, still a busy week full of sports and events. Spring is slow and cold this year and refusing to speed up faster than she wants to. If the cold wind isn’t blowing, it’s raining. With warm sunny days far and few in between. The beginning of long, hot summer days nowhere in sight. 

But the grass is growing tall as it should and buds burst on the tree limbs as they were meant to. Birds sing their song and I soak up the sunshine on the porch with a book in hand when I get the chance to.

The days still go on. We occupy ourselves with play rehearsal, lacrosse practice and games, sailing lessons. Events. Homeschool groups. Sunday dinners with family. Dreaming of the boats in the water this month! And counting down the days til our nephew arrives in the world: 12 more days, but Auntie sent out the eviction notice for sooner.
