Truthful Tuesday

It's funny how the weather can control my emotions. I've been having a bit of the winter doldrums. I mean, I can only walk trot the horse, (which I'm not complaining exactly, it's WAY better than hand walking!) it's been cold, it's dark out all the time... You get the idea. And I have a TON of stuff to do in the house because I have way too much crap and would like very much to NOT have all of it. I also have many a jewelry project I'd like to get started on. But I've been lacking the motivation to do anything other than the normal routine stuff. Grooming the boys, sitting on Eros, playing with the pups.
That all changed (temporarily) when Mother Nature decided to throw us a bone here in CT. This weekend, while certainly not WARM, was much more tolerable than the negative temps we had been dealing with. Saturday was still pretty chilly, and to be honest, my motivation was set at -50. I really wasn't a useful human other than the stuff that needed doing.
But Sunday? Ahhhh Sunday. Sunday was sunny and MUCH warmer than days past. I walked outside in the morning and thought it felt like spring! Granted, it was actually only 38 degrees, but it FELT warm. By the afternoon it was pretty warm, close to 50 in fact. After all the stuff that needed doing, out of no where, I cleaned out one of the tack boxes. Most of them I tackled not too long ago, but this one had been neglected for far too long. This box holds the sprays, ointments, meds, hoof care stuff, etc. It was getting to the point where it wouldn't close, and I knew half the stuff in there had long since expired. Not just that, but most of I haven't touched in years. Which isn't exactly my confession, but I guess we can count that as number two. Why not?
My point is, my motivation shows up like ten fold when it's not freezing cold out, especially when there's sun too. I know it's normal to feel like this. Science says it's probably vitamin D related. I know this short spell of awesome weather will be just that right now... Short. But I'm grateful for the reprieve, and I can't wait for spring!
