SPRING IS IN THE AIR

Tuesday March 20, 2012 5:15 am

Well, it's the first day of Spring and for several days it has felt like summertime already. The weather has been extraordinary! In addition to the winter season having officially ended yesterday it's also the one year anniversary of a date, that, although might only be important to me: nonetheless, it is important to me, and because of that I am doing something (later today) to commemorate this date for me.

As a matter of fact what I am doing is something I have wanted to do since my birthday last November. However, at that time I couldn't coordinate with the person I needed to... so, I tried again on another date that is also important to me: which was a few weeks later... and, for the second time in a row the other person had another reason why they couldn't do it then either. BUT... hopefully it is true that the third time really is a charm and I will finally get it done today (:

Later this week I am taking a quick trip to Heaven... well, truth be told: “Almost Heaven” ... good ol' West Virginia!!! Just passing through really on our way to see Deb's sister and a friend of the family who has cancer. Then, we'll be heading back home. I had so wanted (instead of WV) to go to the beach and take Virgil... but, I am (again) doing "the right thing" by not going swimming in the ocean with my little boy ): Instead we are driving to Ohio. Even though I know this is the thing to do at this time... it really doesn't make me like it any better.

But, in reality seeing someone who is sick is more important than spending a few days on a beach somewhere playing in the sand and the surf with Virgil. (I am going to keep repeating that thought to myself until I come to believe it ...lol)

Just in case my friend in Ohio reads this post and thinks I don't want to come... it isn't that at all ... honest. YOU are more important! I am just complaining in writing because somehow it makes me feel a little better to do so (: It is just that I keep telling Virgil all the time that I am taking him to see the ocean (soon) and every time I set aside a few days to do that... a more pressing need arises and I find I have lied to my little friend again.

Well, I am leaving for work in a few minutes so I guess I will stop griping and do what I ought. I hope any one who reads this blog has a fun day on this start to a new season!
