And so starts another day with me looking out the window and sighing....
While the rain shower is much more appealing to me than another snow storm, I find myself longing for a warm wind and the feel of sunshine on my skin.
Something about winter (even if it's actually Spring) and cold gloomy days makes me feel like a bird in a cage, just longing to be set free.
I yearn to start my garden and run wild in our backyard with my kids, I pine to sit in my garden swing and teach myself to knit. I ache to spend time with my friends and family under the cool shade of a tree having a picnic. I have an itch for the hot sunshine and a cool pool, tasty BBQ, family camp outs, and fresh garden salsa. I long to sit by a bonfire and roast marshmallows. I hanker to lay out on the grass and stare up at the stars. I crave the freedom and carefree existence of summer.
My friend Megan posted a question on her blog that asks, "Where is your happy place?". Which leads me to think that my happy place isn't so much a destination as it is a state of mind. Give me a carefree summer day and I'm bound to be happy, give me a room full of people I love and it doesn't matter where I am or what the weather's like.
For me happiness is found in Family, Friends and the Beauties of Nature.

Carston's first words to me were about the snow on the ground outside again. Ugh. I am so ready for warm weather.
I think we should plan a little reunion up in the canyon when it gets warmer. :)
