and then daylight returns

and so does the guilt.

How can I accomplish everything on a beautiful day when the sky is blue and the sun is out?
A yard full of branches that fell. Soil wanting my hands to dig into it. Roads hoping to withstand the pace of my orange Sauconys for both a walk and a run. A car to be washed.

Then the contrast. Papers to grade. Books to read. Conferences to organize. Grants to manage. Groceries to get. Laundry to do.

Yes, the tensions of spring are upon us and we are not quite yet at the dog days of summer when sitting, poolside, with a jug of Margaritas is a justified distraction (after all, sun is good for the skin).

And now it is Monday again. Personally, I think all of us can use a weekend community every day. It is more fun, more relaxed, and brings more sanity for the soul.

Yuck.

The work we begins again.
