Pending Summertime
A few weeks ago, we all got a small taste of Summer. The weather was abnormally warm. It was as if we bypassed Spring completely, moving full speed ahead right into Summer's heat. However, then, a cold spell washed through and made us all grumpy, and yesterday was the first day that felt like Summer again since then.
When the weather gets warm, especially on sunny days, I suddenly feel alive again, as if my bones have been exhumed from my wintery grave. And it's a surprising feeling, even though it happens the same way every year, because I don't realize how dead my body had become in those winter months. It's more like apathy or numbness instead of death. So, when warm weather finally comes, I want to be out in it as much as possible.
Yesterday, Jesse and I decided to walk on the Simsbury bike path, since now it is only .3 miles from our apartment. We did approximately a 4 mile walk. It was nice. I wanted to go hiking, instead, but because he hasn't been working out regularly like me, he wanted to stick to something flat. And it was nice, I have to admit, to be in the sunshine.
Today is Memorial Day, and I have the day off from work, so now I'm trying to decide what I want to do with my day. I really want to get my bike, so I can go bike riding, but it is at my parent's house, and it doesn't fit in my car easily. Jesse and I were supposed to get up early and go to a free yoga class, so he could try it and decide what he thought of it, but as I expected, he changed his mind and was all grumpy to me this morning. It disappoints me, because he is missing out, but it is his choice. So instead, I am having some me-time. Then, I will probably go for a walk outside later on. I also need to work on my portfolios for work and call the insurance company because of my car accident, but I don't want to... :(
I feel grumpy and in a bad mood this morning, but I know that once I go outside, it will subside and be forgotten, because the sun's warming rays will be on my face and back and connect me back with the source.
