In case your seasonal allergies haven’t informed you yet, we are 17 days away from Spring. Instead of thinking of it like “biding my time,” which I absolutely do, I’m trying to find some enjoyment in the month. There’s excitement in looking over the seed catalog I was sent and planning my garden, and the daylight is stretching a bit later so I can walk my dog closer to dinner time. It reminds me a bit of the time between scans and treatment, to be honest. How can I make joy, even here? How can I make this fun, even now?

It was 67 degrees in my hometown today – rare for the Northeast in mid-February. I didn’t even have to put on a coat to take my dog outside. It was that quintessential Fool’s Spring where I forgot that it could even be like that outside. And I got lulled into that familiar old lie: what problems did I have when it was this warm outside?
