Sunshine

Writing an entry here was on my "to-do" list but, unlike some other things also written there, it is getting done!! I think that I am writing this mostly for myself, as I can think of, at most, three people who will read it. I am listening to Brad Paisley's 5th Gear album. Good stuff. I got a late call to sub at LS today. I haven't been subbing much lately, but neither do I feel much pressure to do so. I am currently concentrating on finishing the dozen books that I have lying around my room before I no longer have time to read. I am doing a short term sub position which will start at the end of the month. I am sure that this will make me too busy to read anything.
It is Lent, in case you didn't notice. I have decided that for Lent I will abstain from doing everything that I never do anyway. In all seriousness, it seems to me that Lent should be seen as a time for doing things instead of not doing them. I think that everyone should spend more time just sitting still and thinking. "What the hell is the point?," while perhaps a rather flippant and irreverent question, seems also like it might be a good place to start...
The sun is shining outside. It can snow as much as it wants to as long as the sun is shining. A stanza in anticipation of spring:
"For winter's rains and ruins are over,

And all the season of snows and sins;

The days dividing lover and lover,

The light that loses, the night that wins;

And time remembered is grief forgotten,

And frosts are slain and flowers begotten,

And in green underwood and cover

Blossom by blossom the spring begins." -Swinburne
