After the mounds of snow melt away and the grass begins to show itself again there's a change in the world around us and I cannot wait for it.

I can't wait for the smell of fresh air blowing around bringing up the earthy scents that I've missed so dearly

I can't wait for the sun to consistently be shining and creating the warm spots on the carpet in your house

I can't wait to open my blinds again and let the light in

I can't wait to cruise down a road with the windows down and good music playing

I can't wait to lay in the grass

I can't wait to ride my bike, go rollerblading, or just go for a walk

I can't wait to see people outside again

I can't wait to pitch my hammock and read a book outside

I can't wait for spring sports to start

I can't wait to wear dresses and skirts and shoes that aren't clunky winter boots

I can't wait for longer, brighter days

I can't wait to do crafts or home-improvement projects outside

I can't wait to be excited to go outside again

I can't wait for a sweatshirt and jeans to be enough to keep me warm

All of these things bring with them an attitude change that we left inside when we were hibernating for the winter. It'll be nice to see people returning to themselves again.

With that I ask, Spring, do your thing!
