You know, I wasn't sure how I'd feel today (a Monday) after giving up that infamous hour of sleep for day-light-savings yesterday, but it was actually a glorious day! I didn't even need a jacket this afternoon. The sun was shining, there was a slight breeze, and there was still plenty of daylight when I was coming home from class at 7 pm. It was energizing, and I didn't feel tired at all. They are calling for nice weather the rest of the week, and I'm hoping that I am able to go out and get some new shots around campus as the flowers and trees bloom. I've included some of my previous pictures of flowers today. Here's to ringing in the spring! :-)

Since We Never Got Any Snow...

Paradise! Can I go back? I miss the sun, the boats and the beautiful flowers. I'm ready for summer and the beach!

"BEEing" Busy

(c) Kelsey Loy

Sometimes I get wrapped up in the stress of student teaching, graduate classes, job applications, and everyday "stuff." I forget just how lucky I am to be busy! I am very blessed to have the opportunity for a wonderful education, and I am lucky to live in a country where I can grow up to be whatever I want to be. I also realize how important it is to "stop and smell the flowers" every now and then (hence, the reason I started this blog)! It is in those quiet, reflective moments that I can appreciate all that I have and refocus on my goals. I'm at the home stretch...just a little more than 2 months until graduation. I cannot wait to "use my wings!"
