Happiness of Busy Feet

"Happiness walks on busy feet."

Kitte Turmell

The cold winter months tend to keep us inside.  We slow down our activities and see our friends not as regularly.  With our feet propped up, wrapped in a cozy quilt, our life slows down.  As spring approaches ... in increments ... we get antsy to get outside.  We begin to visualize our garden plans or spring cleaning or rearranging furniture to better appreciate the forthcoming sun.

With the promise of spring, our energy builds and we can imagine a plethora of activities.  We take less time to eat, grill out more, and engage in outdoor activities.  The time change brings us more day light so instead of coming home and slipping into pajamas, we might throw on sweats and go for a walk.

With increased activity, our circulation improves and we feel better.  We may desire for our bodies to be in even better shape and extend activities.  We feel good about ourselves and sleep better as well.  As we prepare for bed, we can be grateful for our new found happiness and reward our busy feet with a nice long rub.
