The problem is that after Spring it comes Summer, which I don't like at all.
Those were the times! Just a child and reading all the time - which, to say the truth, never ended, either the reading or the chocolate eating which have been a constant all my life.
Spring is about to come. We can see it already in the light and the flowers in the fields: yellow clovers and periwinkles everywhere.
I like very much the Winter, I like the rain and the cold and those sharp cold days with sun but this year we had too much rain, even catastrophic in some places, so to see the end of it is good news.
Every year I like the beginning of the Spring, it gives me strenght in the body and in the soul, I feel a will to do things, to get better, to take care of me and my house, of my life.
I don't like at all the end of the Spring when Summer begins giving its signs. I don't like the Summer because I can't stand the heat, sometimes it looks like I can't even think and I don't want to do anything. I don't even like the beach, a place where I never go. And the sweating and all, I find it so unpleasent.
And the way some people dress, almost naked. What a dreadful sight.
Anyway, we don't think about those nasty things now, we have a nice temperature, we just think on the nice weather, good to wash the clothes and put them to dry on the line - which I do all year round but now it's more pleasent to do.
And I think about my dreams and goals and projects and I feel I want to do all that. The beginning of the Spring, as the Autumn, always brings me hope and the belief that I can do all those things I want.
So, it's ok Spring, you can come and bring good times with you.
The same way on other blogs, I see such nice posts where I want to comment and I can't.
So, it's not that I'm ignoring you, it's that I have a problem that I hope will be solved soon.
It's some Blogger problem.
I feel acomplished, I feel whole, balanced, normal, powerful.
I feel that I can do all things.
I've been reading about it and I found this, taken from a video, about the benefits of making the bed:
- Boosts Mental Well-being & Productivity: Starting the day with a completed task provides a "small win" that can trigger a domino effect of other productive behaviors.
- Reduces Stress & Creates Calm: An unmade bed can feel chaotic; making it creates a sense of order and calm, improving your mood and reducing anxiety.
- Improves Sleep Quality: A neat, organized bedroom environment promotes better sleep hygiene.
- Encourages Better Habits: Making the bed acts as a "keystone habit," often leading to higher self-discipline and better organization in other areas of life.
- Hygiene & Maintenance: It allows bedding to air out and, by covering sheets, reduces the amount of dust that settles on them.
- Making the bed is viewed as a foundational act of self-care, demonstrating to oneself that they are worth the effort of creating a calm, orderly space.
Also:
- Starts Your Day with Discipline- we all fight the uphill battle of being disciplined. When you do something simple like make your bed every day it bolsters your ability to make the tough decisions in other areas you are trying to being disciplined. It says to yourself, “I am and will be a disciplined person today.”
- Sends a Message to Your Life- Nothing sends a signal to your life that you are an orderly person that leaves things better than they were before like making your bed. I’ve even become so convinced of the power in this that I make my bed when staying at hotels (which I do quite too often).
- Kickstarts a Sense of Accomplishment- By making your bed you will feel as if you already crossed something off your to-do list before you even get dressed! Can’t beat that! For those compulsive to-do listers (like myself) you can always write it down and then cross off at the top your list when making your list for the day. Score one for me! (told you I was a sick man)
- Helps Initiate Your Bedtime Routine- The final thought is in regards to your evening bedtime routine. Pulling down the sheets does something powerful to your mind and body by sending the vibe that bedtime has come. There is a reason they pull down the sheets at a luxury hotel. Build your own luxury feel and prepare yourself for bed by putting down the sheets and getting into an organized and comfy bed.(https://medium.com/@joelstockstill/6-reasons-why-making-your-bed-is-so-important-a1cd22b0c005)
