Spring has sprung with flowers fair
zephyrs rare,
And a joy that knows no care...
I sang that as a child in choir and always recall those words at this time of the year.
The chill of winter is melting away today, it is supposed to be a beautiful day today and tomorrow. I can't wait to take the children to the playground.
Maybe I can even wear a mini-skirt to work tonight. At least my knees are no longer so black-and-blue and swollen.
I have four recommendations to finish for study abroad scholarships and a couple more details to iron out for tonight's classes. (Personal shout-out here: GO MASON!!! FINAL FOUR!..okay, so OBVIOUSLY I am just dreaming about living in the Land of Hanalei--who wouldn't?--but I have to demonstrate a little pride for my "little commuter school"...my students sure are excited! I guess Good Morning America is going to be there tomorrow morning...)
yawwwwwwwwwn Up way too late last night and up way too early this morning...do I hear Buckies' iced mocha calling out for me this morning?
Okay...personal for a moment...
Thank you for the prayers, the thoughts, the kindnesses. It all helps. The flashbacks have not stopped but are getting farther apart. The onset of Spring helps me to be more thankful and less bitter.
...and there is so much for which to be thankful...
...and yes, I do include chocolate and wine on that list.

What a lovely post - so good to hear you sounding like your old self Mapiprincesa - or as I know you anyway!!
ResponderEliminarSo Mason is someone from your school / college who's doing well at something - American Idol?? Maybe I'll google it & get the goss.
You are soooo lucky springing into spring - we are falling into an autumnal lull!
Ahhhh..yes. George Mason U. is the name of my school, named after one of the Founding Fathers of the nation (one of the more introverted ones), as well as the founder of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The school's basketball team has broken into the national semi-finals, the Final Four, playing this weekend, which is big news since the other three teams are HUGE sports-named schools and GMU just has to be defined as "a commuter school from the Northern Virigina/DC suburbs"...the school began as a junior college only about 25 years ago...now is getting lots of national attention...
ResponderEliminarSpring has not sprung here yet. But I think if I wait long enough at the window that maybe it will show. ;-)
