A Promise Broken


Yesterday I was made a promise . . . a promise that I would finally feel it . . . 
So I decided to trade in my warm winter coat and dig out my spring jacket.  All day I pictured the scenario . . .  I would leave work as soon as possible, I would walk outside 
and I would feel it . . . So at 3:45 sharp I said my goodbyes to my coworkers and hurried towards the door so I could finally feeeell it!  The sky was a beautiful blue . . . the sun’s glorious rays peeked  through the windows . . . I Envisioned a slow walk to my car . . . the sun kissing my cheeks . . . and the air . . .  that sweet, sweet, smell of the new season . . . 
Slowly I opened the door and . . . but wait . . . this isn’t what I was promised . . . this isn’t what I wanted to feel . . . what I felt was this cold wind hit me in the face!  I  sure enjoyed  the anticipation  far more than the reality . . .

  1. We had the same beautiful day here. I too had to wear too many clothes to enjoy it.

  2. Those March skies look so inviting, but they're sneaky. Hope you get a chance to get out there and feel it today!

  3. I can truly say that I felt it for you - sorry you didn't get that warm and springlike feeling. I'm just hoping that you will have by the time we arrive in another week!

  4. I'm still lugging my winter coat around. Before I left Friday, I also thought about just carrying my coat out, but I'm glad I didn't. It was chilly and windy! Love the phrase: "the sun kissing my cheeks."
