summer, please come quickly

remember this? this wonderful blue sky and green grass? oh, how i miss it so much. i admit the snow today was beautiful. but after spending about 45 minutes shoveling my drive way and falling completely on my side i'm ready for a new season.
..my emotions are ready for the sun.
i miss seeing crazy plants like this....

and this....

i know, i know it will come....but summer, please come quickly.
i find when i struggle i turn to music to make me feel better. i imagine someone comforting me with the lyrics of certain songs.
this line got me through some pretty tough times a few years ago, "baby dont worry cause now i got your back. and every time you feel like crying, i'm gonna try and make you laugh. and if i cant, if it just hurts too bad, then we will wait for it to pass and i will keep you company through those days so long and black."
...anyway i found myself driving the other day for an hour on my way to work listening to the fray, and being calmed down by a certain song.
i love how music has a different meaning for different times of my life. its just like the scriptures. you can hear one thing over and over and have it mean nothing. but one day, because something in your life has changed that same thing has a completely different meaning to you. ive heard this song many times, but this time it made an impact
heres what i was listening to:
"take a deep breath, take a seat, youre falling apart and tearing at the seams"
i found myself literally taking a deep breath in the car...and thinking..."hold on tight, wait till tomorrow, i'll be alright"
and so thats what im doing.
ive been sitting in my bed for about an hour afraid to turn off the light.... listening to this song.
i'll be holding on tight, waiting for tomorrow...
waiting for the time that i can go to my favorite spot at thanksgiving point marveling at my favorite tulip grateful for such a beautiful world i live in.

i think i'll go exploring tomorrow to take some pictures. so i can find beauty in even this cold season.
