Breathing


The windows are cracked open (okay... the one in my bedroom is actually flung open), the beds have been stripped and re-made with clean, fresh sheets. The scent of sweet-smelling candles and spring air mingle throughout our house.

Today, I can breathe.

For the first time in weeks, I inhale deeply-- inside my house-- and I can breathe.

Ah.

  3. @kristengentry - I'm trying to soak up today because, well, it is March and I do live pretty far north. No saying when the next major snowstorm will hit (I'd like it to be next November or December, but it could possibly be next week!).
