Is winter over?

It is already more than 4 months ago since I blogged.

Busy with work, busy studying, busy living my life .. Well, the order is not quite right, but that doesn’t matter. Life is treating me rather well, I hope the same goes for you.

Winter is almost over. Winter, in the old days, was a time for contemplation, rest, sharing the family life indoors, but in this day and age we just have to go on working, we are not supposed to put up our feathers and hibernate. The system just does not permit it. For the sensitives among us it is good to adapt the pace during this period, to be fully aware of the example nature gives us. Look at my little cat in the picture, doesn't she look relaxed (but on guard)?

The days are shorter, the nights longer .. why not try to find out the best way to cope and make good us of the reserves built up during the summer season. This year, again, I fell into the trap of wanting to do too much, thinking “oh well, I am strong enough to face the long and cold winter season” without doing that. Results: just one good long flu too much. Lesson for next year learnt? We’ll see about that. For now, I am very glad days are getting longer, the first lambs are born .. spring is in the air.

Fields of gold is the song I picked for you today. It is beautiful, full of longing, yearning, hope, knowledge. Enjoy!!
