Sometimes...

you just gotta

get outside

for a few pre-spring minutes...

to breathe the fresh air, to enjoy the new flowers,

and to savor the fact that

spring. is. almost. here.

You've gotta jump

and climb

and bask

and crash.

Pile

and ride

and rejoice...

because spring is almost here!

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant;

if we did not sometimes taste of adversity,

prosperity would not be so welcome.

~Anne Bradstreet
