Springtime of Life

A lot has been going on in life, at work, and in my universe lately. All of it unbelievably great and a busy-ness that makes me energizes and excited, not tired and wanting to veg out.

I keep having these moments when I find myself smiling at everything and at the same time, nothing at all. Because I’m realizing that somehow, slowly, all the bad, negative things have slipped away and as I look around me, life is pretty darn great. How fitting that this feeling of being alive happens as spring has finally arrived in Southern New England.

There are so many things going on that I’ve started to write about to share, but words seem to fail in adequately expressing the joy I’m feeling- I feel like a grinning idiot over here, but things just really are going that well. My exhibit opens this week and my lifelong dream trip is a mere 2.5 weeks away. This feeling is something new to me- of not worrying about things out of my control, of not trying to plan and scheme every moment of things to do for the trip- I’m really the most relaxed and laidback I think I have been ever. The reasons for this are many, but the biggest one is  I’ve finally embraced my life and realities, made actions where I wanted the changes, and am now seeing the results. It’s enough to push me forward into new things and feel excited for the springtime of life.
