Springtime Joy

I honestly give athletes a lot of credit, because even just one season of a sport (which is rarely the case these days- even if someone plays only one sport it usually consumes an entire year between off season leagues and/or practicing) is a herculean task and commitment. And while sometimes playing a sport can be a bit torturous and regretful, I would like to think that people find some ebullience in persevering such physical (in most cases) and mentally challenging work. But, I don't think I would have the motivation to do so without nature's encouragement, without the beautifully fluid spring days. I feel like sun completely entrances me, as if my winter hibernation has allowed me to forget the warm beauty which the august star emanates. Now that it is here, I don't know how I ever let it go.
