"Breathing the sweet forest air makes a blue bird aware that she could be free"

Something I would love to experience: A hot air balloon ride. Feeling the wind and the sun up there must be amazing. I've always been such a sucker for pure blue skies, I'd love to be a part of that. Today is an absolutely gorgeous day. It was 50 degrees earlier, the sky is a Robin's egg blue color. Days like this are so torturous in March, because I know very well that tomorrow it could snow. In fact, supposedly it is going to snow 6-12 inches on Friday. Last weekend I cleaned out my room when I was home. I threw out 3 large bags of paper garbage and one large bag of plastic garbage. Being able to actually walk into my walk in closet, for the first time in about 13 years, was a pretty exquisite feeling. The next step will be donating the clothes I don't wear...about two-thirds of them and reducing the number of items in my room. A cluttered room makes me feel like my mind is cluttered as well. I was really in the market for a good Spring cleaning...of course my car will be next. I think half of the gravel from the GMC parking lot is on my driver's side floor mat. It is hard to believe that I will be heading home for the summer in a short 5 weeks. Unfortunately I have a fair amount of work to do between now and then. Also, it is always the hardest to concentrate during this last month because the weather starts to get warm and sunny. Definitely looking forward to getting some sun and going swimming and eating lots of ice cream.
