A Winter of Discontent

 

 

 

 

 

This year I can’t wait to see winter go.  I make a real effort to not wish away seasons of life, but I’m ready to move on.  By necessity, I spent much of this winter “in my head”…wrestling with questions and concerns about our lives.  Maybe some of the insights I’ve gained I’ll share.  Some of it is still too tender and fresh.  I feel as if I have been trapped in a cocoon and now I am aching to be set free.  I want sunshine.  I want flowers, leaves, and blossoms.  I want to put on my flip-flops and a t-shirt and step outside into the warm Southern air. 

I want signs everywhere that cold, dark, confusing times end and spring comes.
