change-ups

today there was real solid evidence that spring has begun to melt the winter snows and that soon all will be green and warm. and i love that. as much as i love skiing, and my job doing it, i love the changing seasons more. i'm glad for the first day that temperatures hit 55 in spring when everyone breaks out their shorts, and i am glad for the first day that temperatures hit 55 in fall and everyone breaks out their sweaters. i don't just love the changing seasons because they are pretty, or it is a change of pace, or i am tired of the heat or tired of the cold, though i love all those things too. i really love the changing seasons because they are a chance to reinvent yourself. just as nature is reinventing herself, you can be happier, more productive, better looker, better kempt, better dressed, and overall just better or even just different from the you that you were before. i think that new year's resolutions should be changed to spring and winter resolutions. that we should begin our changes at a time when our surroundings are changing. that way it won't seem so out of place.

it's a great time to be alive, it's a great time to get better. i'm getting a haircut soon.

and then as winter lists ready to relent to springs burgeoning power,he lands a flailing hay maker in the form of a Sunday snow storm.
