The Most Lovely of Months

Today is an absolutely perfect day. Besides having to work, that is. March is the most lovely of months. It is the time of year when the grey turns blue and the brown turns green; the time when my christmas cactus decides to reveal the blooms it hid during December, January, and February. March is for growing, cleaning, and coming alive again. March is for leaves on trees and laying out by the pool… for open windows and sunny days! In Texas, March is the perfect temperature. By the end of April, it will already be in the hundreds and summer will have crept upon us again.

Today I took fifteen minutes out for myself and sunned by the pool. I’m sure that the guy out there thought I was the white-est person he’s ever seen in his life. I haven’t gotten any sun in four years. It sure felt good for fifteen minutes to be laying with the sky above me and the sun on my arms.
