So, another day, another dollar, another word from Pastor K. In case you didn't know today is the last day of February, which means we are already 2 whole months into 2013. Time is flying, Henry is 3 and a half months, and in 24 days I will be 35, where has the time gone? I am glad to see February in the rear-view, mainly because I am very much looking forward to spring, I am looking forward to days of warmth and adventure. I am looking forward to getting Henry out of the house more, taking walks at Shadyside in a stroller and taking hikes at Mounds in our Baby Bjorn (bought for $15 at Once Upon a Child). I am looking forward to opening windows during the day to let in fresh air, fresh air into an apartment that can occasionally get stuffy, especially when an almost 35 year old and an almost 4 month old are stuck inside most/or all of the day 6 days a week.
Spring to me opens the door to so much potential, fresh air, yes, but also warm air. Warm enough that I can wear sandals and shorts, warm enough that I can take Henry out without having to layer on blanket after blanket in order to make sure he is not cold. Warm enough to also not have to warm up my car before Henry and I get in. Warm enough to see the look in Henry's eyes when he sees trees with leaves, flowers bursting through the ground, birds chirping in the air. Warm enough for adventure and exploration, warm enough for fun and enjoyment, warm enough to allow a larger portion of freedom of movement, freedom of sight and smell and touch, freedom to do what we want, freedom from ice and snow and windchill, freedom...
So, another month up and another month down. Another month closer to freedom, another month closer to Spring.
Peace and Love,
Pastor K
