First Day of Spring

Tomorrow is officially the first day of spring. Here in Portland the plum trees and cherry blossoms are all over the place. And as much as I hate being thrown off by Daylight Savings, it's great to have so much daylight in the evening.

I was walking home from the bus stop yesterday, and the sun is still above the west hills and I was walking under one of the plum trees and was just overcome by how fortunate I am. Granted, as usual, I don't have any money and our living situation could be better, and finals and the bar exam are lurking around the corner to make the next few months a nightmare. But otherwise, I have a job that I truly enjoy, a partner who is caring and understanding, a beautiful baby girl who is healthy and growing, and a dog and cat who are both happy to see me when I get home. There never seems to be enough time to get anything--let alone everything--done and I'm constantly running from one place to the next, but for right now, I think it's great.
