Change

We talked about seasons today in my C3 class, and I was reminded how grateful I am that the weather is finally changing. I was tricked by a warm spell we had several weeks ago, thinking spring had finally arrived, but the weather got cold and rainy again. Unfortunately, I think my spirit dropped with the thermometer. 

While it continues to rain almost every night, it's been sunny the last several days! People on the streets just appear to be happier, myself included. 

Farmers are selling produce and beautiful flowers on the side of the city's roads — I bought a cactus yesterday — and children run around, chasing each other up and down the crowded sidewalks. 

I marvel at the concept of seasons because I am a girl who needs change. And I am experiencing it. Around me and inside me.

  1. Lauren! I'm so glad I found your blog and even gladder you made your way back to China, how exciting!

    I totally understand the mood fluctuation that parallels the thermometer. England has been rainy for about nine months now :) BUT the past 2 days have had sun and I have physically felt better. Crazy how much that can affect the psyche/body.
    Blessings on your time there. I enjoy following!
