soothing colour of green

I love spring. Suddenly, it is green again. The sun is shining, it is warm enough to wear pretty sandals and skirts, and the sky is blue. Funny how something so simple can change your mood so completely. Yesturday, I felt awful, hopeless, full of anger and despair. Today, I feel hopeful, encouraged, happy. Nothing in my situation has changed except the weather.
Maybe it also has to do with the fact that in a few short hours I will have a little break. I will be in Regina with the man I love, and tomorrow we will be at the lake enjoying the sunshine. There is some normalcy in that.
I just have to keep thinking that this is only an exam. It is only one evaluation in a line of many. It does not reflect who I am. It does not even reflect my competency at this job. It merely reflects my ability to barf out some information that I have memorized in a semi-coherent fashion. Not reality.
No matter. I am going to put on my pretty sandals (which everyone complimented today!), pack up my girls, and head off to my solice. Green is such a soothing colour and now there is so much of it. I love the spring.
