Spring – Her Complex Musings

Its been such a beautiful day for a road trip! We are in Bay Roberts for the night to attend our Goddaughter’s first communion tomorrow morning.

The weather was beautiful. We took our time. No rushing necessary today. We set up the backseat of our car so that the dogs would have a comfy trip. Their dog bed covers the entire back seat perfectly so whenever we are going to be in the car for a while we bring it along.

There was nothing out of the ordinary about this trip. But Buddy’s anxiety was through the roof the entire 5 hours we were on the road. We made a stop pretty much every hour to let them get out and have a short walk and a drink. Zoey was great. Not much of a sound out of her all day but Buddy trembled for more than half of the trip and spent most of it in my arms. I’ve never seen him upset Ike that because he loves being in the car.

Overall it’s been a good day. The sun has been food for my soul and the colors of this evening’s sky were sheer perfection. These are the kind of days that give me strength to want to wake up again tomorrow.

Despite my runny nose, sore throat, and hacking cough my heart feels full. The sun is beaming here today. The birds are out enjoying every second of it. While I watch some of them from my kitchen window I also see drops of water fall from the roof, indicating the temperature outside has reached a whopping +10°c. It’s the warmest temperature we’ve had so far in 2024.

The weather man on the local news is saying that tomorrow it will be plummeting to -13°c. That’s quite a drop. Ouch. My mood often fluctuates with the weather, especially this time of year. This back and forth, from hopeful excitement back to depression, will probably be my pattern over the next couple of months as Mother Nature grapples with whether to hold on or let go of this brutal winter.

Yet its an amazing time, hope filling the dark crevices of my soul. Even though the freezing days remind me of my dark moods, I feel a sense of hope glow internally. It may be just a small glimmer but it’s there.

Hold on.
