Sunshine on My Shoulder Makes me Happy...
Okay-I am here to write a "real" post. I apologize for the lame typo-filled entry yesterday, but I knew that if I didn't just jump on and go with it when I had time, there was no hope.

I am sitting here in my living room next to an open window and relishing in the goodness that is Springtime in New England. We don't get much of it and it is unpredictable to say the least. But it is life-changing beautiful. It makes me want to take deep breaths all day long just to get it all in.

So now that my life without the West Coasters is settling down I feel like I can slooow down a bit. Before they arrived I was turning into a workaholic. After much self-reflection I firmly decided to let that over-achieving dog lie. It took me years to extract her from my life before. I'll be damed if she takes over again.

But then Ness and Bren got here and I barely had time to breathe. I missed my couch!! It was wonderful but insane. So now I am trying to ease back into normalcy. And this weather certainly helps. It has it's way of forcing you to take life at a softer pace and just be here. Because you never know when it will snow again....and I think that I need those gentle reminders.

So I am officially embarking upon my first day of Springtime Jess. I hope you are all relishing in whatever you've got...
