Spring Fever
Just the word 'Spring' makes me feel jittery. The days start getting longer, the air starts getting softer. Springtime often tends to awaken new excitement and optimism about what the future holds. Warmer days, cookouts with friends, summer.......
Except when it doesn't. Sometimes, Spring causes anxiety. Maybe/Probably I haven't lived up to the the 'new year, new me' resolutions of January. Sometimes, the onset of longer days makes me just plain tired. Frequently, my seasonal allergies get the best of me and make me feel like the 'tissue girl'. Maybe the pressure of everyone being happy about springtime just gets on my nerves.
Whatever it is, spring is a time of transition for everyone and everything. Remember to be gentle with yourself.
