It’s true what they say, I guess. About April showers bringing May flowers.

Last month came to a close with some pretty intense storms. But now, thanks to this recent string of clear, sunny days, the world is in bloom. I love it. The entire world feels, I don’t know, alive with possibilities and life.

We’ve already established the fact that I’m not a morning person. Yet this morning, I couldn’t help but smile. Dew kissed fields glistened in the early morning sun, and fog swirled in the valley. Birds were chirping, no doubt as happy as I am to finally see full-fledged leaves forming on the trees.

Yep, I thought, as I headed to work, this is going to be another good day. I mean, how can it not be when the sun is shining and the sky is such a gorgeous shade of blue.

It would have been the perfect day to play hooky. But it wasn’t an option for me to day, I’m afraid. I have to admit it was tempting – the thought of spending the day out of doors rather than sitting at this desk. Too much work piled on the work surface in question to justify a play day, what with the weekend just around the corner.
