I ventured outside for a hike today. The weather has finally warmed up a bit and the 16 inches of snow is mostly gone. Lately my mood has been as bleak as this winter has been. I’ve kept my head down and just survived.
I’ve wondered if my journey in this lifestyle is come to an end. I don’t know that I have it in me to try again or that I want to, but the hollow feeling is gone now. I think that’s a good sign.
Maybe, just like these flowers, I am just waiting for the spring.
