HELLO SUN
Today is the first day of daylight savings time. When I was a
girl I used to read editorials about this being communist time, not God’s time.
But we have surely moved past that today. The reality is that the sunbeam that
used to greet me at 7:44 is no longer there. Now I am up and busy long before
the sun hits the window where my chair is located. When we change to daylight
savings time we are on our way to spring. It is the first step to the spring
feeling. Next we will find daffodils in front and trees budding.
Today I feel like someone who has slept too long. Winter has
left me groggy. Time to move things outside and get the yard ready for summer
activities. I’m looking forward to
sitting in the sun, and digging in the dirt. I don’t ever get everything done
outside, I just get to a point where I say there is always next year and leave
it where it is. I can always make more plans than I can execute. This year
won’t be any different.
In a couple of mornings I’ll be over the adjustment to
communist time and I’ll be in rhythm once more. Up bright and early, searching
for the first ray of the sun, planning to do more than is humanly possible. But
right now I am struggling with the first day of daylight savings time.
