Spring is upon us and the weather
is...well... it’s kinda bipolar! (crazy face) Nevertheless, my favorite season
is here! I love spring for its freshness and renewal. The birds are
chirping, children are out playing, and flowers are blooming. Speaking of
flowers...the only thing I don't like about spring is the POLLEN!!! Now,
I understand that the pollination is necessary for the fertilization of seeds
to create more flower-bearing plants, but man its heavy. My car has
changed colors about 3 times in the last 2 weeks. :) My allergies
have been at bay since I've began a good allergy treatment regimen. For
the most part, the weather has been Beautiful and I can't wait to get out and
frolic in it.
This is what led me to writing this
post. I have so much I would like to do and decided to share it with you.
This spring, I pledge to get out more after being cooped up all winter
due to the cold weather. Some of the things I'd like to achieve are
below.
1) Get up and get going. I have to make a pact with myself
to get up and get moving on Saturday mornings. I have a tendency to lag around
doing aimless things when I need to be getting out of the house and enjoying
the sunshine.

2) Attend 2nd Sunday on King. This
event has taking place for at least 5 years now in Charleston. In the past, I would simply forget it was occurring until late
afternoon when it was no longer worthwhile for me to go. Other times, I
would be out of town or have other things planned where I couldn't attend.
I'm making it my duty to attend this upcoming one in April or May. It is
a time of food, laughter, and fun. The historic shopping district is shut
down from traffic to allow people to participate in an afternoon of
festivities. Restaurants bring their tables to the street, vendors are
set up selling various items, and a good time is had by all...at least that's
what I've been told. For more information about what takes
place, check out this YouTube video.
3) Begin yoga classes. I
was invited, by some coworkers, to attend a yoga class this weekend and I have
decided to attend. I'm a little nervous because this is something new for
me, but excited just the same. Plus I have to super, cool yoga mat to try
out! Pray for me. I'm hoping the instructor will have a routine for
beginners.
4) Fly a kite. I can't
remember the last time I flew a kite. Now that my kids are
"grown" years have passed since I've enjoyed this fun activity.
Well, by golly I'm gonna get out there and fly me a kite this year.
It's an activity I used to love and I'm always fascinated by the various
kites that are displayed each year.
5) Go to a local Farmer's Market. Why haven't I done this yet?
Nobody knows.
6) Take a walk on the beach.
Is this really a bucket list item? No, not really...I go each year.
How can I not when there are several surrounding me? Have you
visited the beaches of Charleston, SC? If you haven't, you should.
You would be pleasantly surprised. Hey, maybe I'll fly that kite at
the beach!
7) Practice more R.A.K. While
I'm out frolicking around town, I will continue my resolution of spreading more
happiness by practicing more random acts of kindness. While I'm downtown,
I'll add a few coins to meters that are about to become expired. Maybe
I'll pay for someone else's lunch. The possibilities to be kind are
endless. You should give it a try.
8) Attend Flowertown Festival. This is another event I haven't been to since my boys were younger. Its going on this weekend so I guess I need to get there tomorrow before it ends.
