I am ecstatic about the cool down and rain. Now don't get me wrong - I love the summer weather. I just do not agree with skipping seasons. Each season has a reason and a certain sent. There is a smell that is undeniably linked to each turn in the weather. On my way to work this morning, I was greeted by the cool breeze with hints of rain and my world smelled of Spring.
Some people see Spring as a new beginning. I think of it more like cleaning your glasses. I always have dirty glasses. I don't wear them often and so I touch the lenses with abandon. My husband loves to comment on how they look, like a preschoolers glasses with dirty finger prints all over them. He doesn't understand how I can wear them around like that, all smudged and clouded over. I guess it because the dirt accumulates gradually, spots at a time and I get used to it.
He, a long-time glasses wearer, cleans them for me. Then, when I put on the freshly cleaned lenses, it is like seeing a whole new world. I can see the details and it is like a veil has been lifted from over my eyes. Everything is crisp and in high contrast. That is what Spring is for me... getting my glasses cleaned. Not a new start, just a better look at where you have been all along.
