Second Day of Spring

Today is officially the second day of spring, but since it is the day after the solstice, it feels more like the first real day of spring. 

Outside my window at work the sun is shining and there is blue sky peaking through the clouds. I know it's cold outside today, hovering in the low 30's, but this weekend it's foretasted to get up near 40. That's warm enough to take the jogging stroller out and break it in.

I'm trying to have a more positive outlook on all of this. I'm contemplating some new information that may be opening up new options for me, and may give me the flexibility I need to move my life in the direction I want it to move.

I think the applicable expression is "It's always darkest just before the dawn."

Perhaps the hopelessness I've been feeling was a sign that things were just about to change. If things go the way I'm hoping, I'll post about it, about the options I found. Because I find them Ironic in some ways. In the Alanis Morissette definition of Irony.

I am hopefull, for the first time in a long time, and after a long tough night, that things are moving forward. 

Here's to new beginnings.
