BUT... I've also been dreading it this year :( Because "almost" everything that I love about it centers around *my home*... and I don't have my little home anymore :( I'm only renting a place temporarily... and it doesn't feel the same :( It's "JUST A PLACE" :( I'm VERY VERY THANKFUL for it... and it is very nice :) But I MISS *my* HOME :( And having "spring fever" when I don't have *MY* home ...is not fun!! :( As long as it is cold and dreary and I can stay hidden inside, ignoring my present circumstances, it isn't AS hard... but missing *my* flowers and yard... *my* little cottage... well... it's just VERY HARD :(
However, *life* and *spring* doesn't stop... nor center or revolve around ME or MY circumstances... which is a good thing! :) And, when you least expect it, you may find a little *treat*... which I *did*. It came in the form of a *pretty* little... APRON! :D A surprise "Happy Spring" gift from my mother :D She brought me the prettiest little pink floral apron, with delicate broquade lace and everything! Beautiful! :) And just wearing it makes me happier... even if I'm not in my little home cleaning and cooking-- it makes me feel a little "home-y-er" :D And my youngest son took such delight in the first time he saw me wearing it :) I guess I can be patient, and wait for "another home" someday... but while I'm waiting, I'll don my new little apron~ and *ENJOY SPRING* (THANKS, MOM!!!;)
