A BREATHE OF FRESH AIR

Comes through that open window in the Spring. Do you notice when the furnace is turned off and the windows are open your home becomes fresher? There is a nice feeling when a breeze seems to blow away the winter blues and cobwebs as it goes through the house. Sunshine streaming in brings a new perspective. Sometimes it reveals lots of dust bunnies! Airing out our rooms is like airing out our lives! Closed lives and thoughts need some mental windows open.  Our homes are often such a reflection of us. Our stuff, our clutter, our priced possessions! It is good to review all that is there! Spring is that time the windows can be open before the hot weather forces us to close them for the air conditioning! Or like our minds that we may want to close again to the outside world. Are your windows open? Are you glad some new air can move through your house?

THE WIND OF CHANGE

As the night winter wind was howling, disturbing my sleep, it was a reminder that life can be jostled by such events. A windy day! A hurricane force wind! A gentle breeze! Same system, just a different effect! Some winds more welcome than others, especially if one is a sailor with a big sailboat! In weather, winds do bring change. Nature does not like a vacuum so does not allow it. Do we also not like a vacuum and must fill our days with something?
