Spring: Forward

Spring:  Forward

            Today begins Daylight Saving. This mean longer days and shorter nights. I think there are a lot of us who look forward to this, especially where bodies of water are concerned.

            I look forward to it because it gives me an extra chance to walk in the evening if I’m unable to walk in the morning. I accomplish a lot when I walk. I’m not only working on my health, I’m also rejuvenating my senses. Every one of them open up when I walk. When I walk in the morning, it helps to awaken me. If I get to walk in the evening, it helps take some stress away.       

            But, there is much more to springing forward than the longer daylight. I have been focused on moving myself forward in my writing “career”. I’m trying to take steps not yet taken. Or, if needed, retake steps not yet well done.

            I view springing forward as a metaphor to what I’m trying to do in my life. I’m trying to lengthen my writing possibilities. I’m trying to reach goals I have only dreamed about.

            Occasionally, I slump and remember my failures. I can’t let those mistakes weigh me down. I must move forward. I already know the journey that is behind me. It’s time to focus on the journey before me and move forward as necessary to accomplish all my goals and desires.
