A New Day

Every spring I am ready to quit my job, move to a new place or town, buy new clothes--just do something new at all. I'm feeling that this week. I know this desire for change is coming when I start prowling the house looking for things to do (and sometimes end up cleaning!). I just feel like I need to get out, experience the new day. I've been trying to do things around the house to help ease this since there's nowhere to go at the moment. Yesterday I babysat for a friend, planted my new flowers, and tried a new recipe (which turned out really bad--I tried to cook kale for the first time).

During the winter, I'm content to sit my butt in front of the TV and veg, but with the beautiful spring weather, I want to be outside, do something new. I went hiking with some friends last weekend, and that eased some of it, but what I really want this time of year is to be hiking all of the time. If only retirement came first in life! :-)
