There's something about the Easter season that puts me in a funk. I suppose much of it could be linked to the fact that I am an emotional person - great for my artistic side - not always great for my daily life. I know that the focus is supposed to be on the Gift and the miracles of Easter but I am always floored by the great sadness and loss of the season. I think that our own personal loss over the last few years adds to that and as a result, I am a mess.
I think though that as the sun begins to peak at us again I can almost 'see' the light at the end of the tunnel. It's been a very long winter and I need it to be spring! I find my fingers yearning for the newness of the bamboo and cottons but my soul is still in wool! I love the Aran afghan project that keeps my mind engaged in the challenge and not focused on the dreariness of the season. I started a sweater for Meag and my lovely yarn for Sean's cotton bamboo sweater arrived, but using them this week amid the rain and flooding seems wrong. So the Aran is keeping me in my comfort zone. Today as I wait for my kids to come in and look out the window, I'm yearning to be home getting back into it!
