the changing of the seasons

What is happening to me? The days are getting longer. The sun is shining. And I'm feeling like some kind of blooming flower. Starting to feel alive again.

I always have to get up at 6.20 and consider that early. I have to drag myself out of the bed, then on to the toilet and sit there for 10-20 minutes before something starts happening. But the last few days I woke up around 5.30 and really had to get out of bed at 6.00 because I really couldn't sleep anymore. I got stuff to do. I need to do this and that and this and that and....

It's a bit freaky that seasons can have such a huge impact on my life, on how I feel. But all the more reason to relax in the moment. It is like it is. And that it's great that there are seasons, so you can feel the change. In autumn it's nice to walk in the forest and contemplate. As it is nice in winter to rest, drink tea, stare at the flames in the fireplace, sleep a lot, sauna, ... As it is nice to wake up in spring and feel alive.....

He Sander!
Ik kijk zo nu en dan op je weblog, goed te lezen dat de lente daar ook tevoorschijn komt! In Nederland is het sinds een paar dagen alleen maar zonnig :-) Na ontzettende maartse buien vorige week + de klok een uurtje later lijkt de lente wel losgebarsten :-)

Groetjes uit Wageningen! (en aan Maija!)
