It's on days like these ones that I find my respite. I may be running on 15 hours or less of sleep over a period of 4 days, and I may have three more midterms to go, but how wonderful it was to hear the birds chirping this morning!
I just love taking in the morning as I walk to my class. The blossoms on the trees give off the most incredible aroma that is suspended in the humidity. The mist rolls in over the mountain. And the fountains are running at maximum capacity.
When it is rains, I like to pretend that I am in Ireland or Scotland. The grass is always greener when it rains. I try to pull off my "Pilgrim at Tinker Creek" observations and sing my "Why Does It Always Rain On Me" by Travis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nwh3FmpZ7kg.
I like to walk around the fountains and pretend that I am in Rome leisurely eating my gelato (Caf Ice-cream) around one of the ancient aqueduct-powered realms. Sometimes I even throw in a coin for the heck of it. [the fountain cleaning people hate me]
This is the best time of year - when the blossoms are just about to burst, allergies have not yet been stirred, and the refreshing newness in life is imminent.
All of that goes to say, "This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it."
And no matter what, Spring Break will happen eventually.
