You know, I shouldn’t be surprised that Spring Break is looming, that the official first day of spring was just a few days ago, and we are expecting a winter storm. I am looking past that though and looking forward to warmer days.
I love spring. So much so, I think everyone should make their resolutions this time of year, when the birds are chirping and you can see the ground. We could call in Spring Resolutions. To be honest, I think the ones made on the New Year are destined to fail; especially those of the healthy eating and exercising variety. And I never understood the logic of promising to eat well the night before the Bowl Game season starts.
For me, as the days start getting longer and warmer, I prefer crisp foods like vegetables and fruit. I prefer a tossed salad to a burger. I prefer chicken grilled as opposed to KFC’d. I prefer a bowl of cereal or a breakfast bar to eggs, bacon and toast.
Also, to me, nothing is more inviting for walking than the visual of not seeing wall to wall white and having to wear ice cleats. Even going into a gym is more pleasant. It isn’t too cold to get out of the car; you don’t have to drag slop in, sit on potentially cold equipment. Spring is, in my opinion, a win/win situation.
It’s also a time for Spring Cleaning. What better time to work on the whole self. I have been attempting to tackle the house – you know I read somewhere that if you can minimize your clutter, you will be physically and mentally healthier – and I plan on going in earnest coming up. They say to purge your house of things you haven’t used in 6 months to a year and I am going to do just that.
I stand by my thoughts – Spring Resolutions – who’s with me?
