I don't think there has been a year in my life that I have appreciated and been as thankful for Spring as I am this year. After a rough second half of winter for my family, and a busy holiday season. (We had 10 Christmas celebrations in 3 days!) I was exhausted physically and emotionally. Loosing our pregnancy gave me a LOT of down time. It was healing emotionally from a loss and healing physically from TWO D&Cs. I relied very heavily on my awesome hubby to do the brunt of the housework and kid watching while I slept a LOT.
After what seemed like forever, I finally started feeling better physically and as the weather got warmer and the rain started coming my mood improved drastically! I feel like a completely different person than how I felt a few months ago. I still feel sadness over our loss, but moving on couldn't have come at a better time of the year!
Spring is all about new beginnings, happiness, and in the agriculture world planting season! I noticed this year that I am just happier now that spring is here. I notice flowers, the smell, and things I took for granted before. Beer tasted better, motivation has increased, and I'm looking forward to doing some real work! I miss a day of physical labor making something great for a purpose. For me that could be planting flowers in our flowerbeds, weeding, or the most recent event in my house painting!
Over the weekend, my hubby and I painted TWO bedrooms in our house! The kiddos rooms is now a burnt orange/copper color and our room is a sage green like color! The kids went to spend the night with my mom, and hubby and I made a darn good painting team! It just felt good. And I'm continuing it as I started training for a 5K on Monday!
