With Anticipation, I Wait...

Spring holds such promise and anticipation of good things; warm breezes, flowers blooming, GREEN all around me, a sun that sets later and later into the evening, cooking out, meandering walks after dinner, gardening (or attempting to all while making sure nary a worm nor a spider comes within 10 feet of me... which is essentially impossible), the smell of fresh cut grass and the sound of buzzing lawn mowers in the distance, curtains fluttering over open windows, iced tea with lots of sugar. I love even just the thought of all those things. They all lead to the ultimate pleasures of summer, which can be summed up by three things; feet in the sand, lobster (in ANY form) and strawberry shortcake with real biscuits and real whipped cream. You take all the spring joys and add 3 things to it and there's the best of summer. And if with all these things, I have love, laughter, family, health, music and friends... well... it can't get any better. It's so easy to be happy. Why do I sometimes think it's so difficult?
