These past few weeks have been filled to the brim and overflowing with activities, work responsibilities, and endless lists of things to do. I was ill two weeks ago and spent four days trying to sleep it off but the remains of a cold are still clinging frantically to my body, making it difficult to get things done. All I really want to do is rest, eat good food, and get some exercise but what I actually get to do is not nearly so much fun.

My classes end in a few weeks and I’m really not ready to face writing final papers and studying for exams. My little brother gets married on Saturday and I still refuse to believe it. Everything is happening so fast! I have this fear that spring is going to pass me by and before I know it summer will already be upon us and  I will have missed out on enjoying the changing seasons. I hate being out-of-tune with my body and with the natural world.
