Dear Spring,

I have missed you more than you’ll ever know. It’s not that Winter was so awful, well, not in Chicago, anyway; East coasters have a different perspective. It’s just that Winter just seemed to drag on.

Winter brought cold, snow, endless grey days, frozen Lake Michigan, and too few hours of light each day. Overall, Winter is just depressing.

You, however, bring warmth, beautiful flowers, buds on trees, green grass, fresh smells, and light for more than 12 hours per day. I can eat outside on my balcony, plant a garden, wear flip flops, sleep with the windows open, leave my jacket at home, and exercise outside. And, of course, you also bring Summer and my birthday (seriously, people, there are less than 90 shopping days left!).

Spring, let’s be honest, Winter is going to try and bully you by flexing its muscle with some snow, freezing rain, and general ickiness. Hold your ground. We’ve all got your back. We want you here. Just tell Old Man Winter that this is your time and he can take a backseat.

Thank you for returning. Trust me, you got here just in the nick of time.

Love,

Little Merry Sunshine
