The spring sun is here! Though it is still 34 degrees outside, the sun is shining and it is actually conveying warmth to the earth. I like it. I will even accept it in trade for having to wait for the T in the dark each morning, due to Daylight Savings. The seasonal transitions in New England are so miraculous. I never get inured to them, no matter how many I experience. True, they are hard on the body, which responds slowly to the changes, but they are full of so many hopeful signs and marvelous stimuli.

I am having a more positive week. Possibly, this is due to having caught on some much-needed sleep over my spa-weekend in Connecticut. I have also reached a point of semi-acceptance and hopefulness about the future. That is, I no longer think that my prospects for a productive, meaningful life are squandered. Also, the sun is WARM. This cannot be overrated.

One possibility: applying for an MFA program and working through it as a part-time student, while also holding down a job. Believe it or not, this possibility never occurred to me. I am not great at combining things, at least in my plans for the future, or "what I might do". Right now, the idea of not having to choose one path (ie. work or school), but actually finding ways to make my situation work for me, is very appealing.

I'm going to publish this now, because Blogger keeps frantically notifying me that it has lost its connection...
