Please Pass the Sunshine

It's 30 something degrees outside here on the home front, and while that's a lot warmer than it could be, I am forced to face the reality that it is just too. stinking. COLD.

Let's all go to a happy place, shall we?

Ready?

Close your eyes.

Now take a deep breath...inhale through your nose, exhale through your mouth.  That's what they told me to do while I was in labor and it worked wonders, so I'm thinking it will help in this situation as well because it is EXTREME.

Close your eyes again.

Now open them...

Ahh...

The sand.  The sun.  The lake. The beach-side refreshments. Delicious.  

At this point, it doesn't even have to be the beach. I will gladly take the smell of wet mud.  And grass.  And tulip blooms.  Anything.  Anything that suggests it will not be this cold, stark winter forever.

Spring and Summer, where are you? Where are the warm breezes and the walks in the park and the ice cream cones and the tans?  We're ready.  Please hurry.  

I hope your Saturday is full of summer day dreams. =)
