“On the road again…I just
can’t wait to get on the road again…”
Cold, wet winter months are
not my fave! You see, I get stuck in the
garage until spring’s sunny skies. Mind
you, I am thankful that I’m not out in the muck; after all I’m pretty cute.
I have graceful citrus-yellow
curves with just-shy-of-neon green wheels and, naturally, jaunty tulips tatted
on my sides – I just scream, “Cruise me down to the coffee shop!” I must have garage-fever right now, being
cooped up doesn’t really suit my playfulness.
Oh, I remember tripping
along the bumpy path with my trusty passenger pedaling away at a lighthearted
pace. She chatted freely with her beau,
sigh…those were the days. I think she
feels it too; wandering out and looking wistfully at me, recalling blue skies,
trilling birds and rides to the park.
Was this all a lovely,
surreal dream or did it actually occur in the distant sun-drenched past? Only the marching on of the seasons will
reveal reality.
“Sunshine on my shoulder
makes me happy…”
This little spoof echoes
what many of us are feeling as winter lingers, just slightly confined to the
garage. My question is does it affect
only your outdoor activities or are you restricted in your mind?
As I am writing this blog,
I find that I am somewhat blocked; thoughts are just not flowing as freely as I
prefer. It’s almost as if the pipes in
my brain are frozen, or at least slushy.
How do we pump verve back into the frosted tundra of our hibernating winter
selves?
