You knew the day would come when you had to shed the coat, hat, boots and gloves. You ignored the signs that it was time to start thinking about putting away the heavy sweatshirts and sweat pants. Now here it is April and you cannot hide any longer. Everyone will see the evidence of a fading winter there and there and there….everywhere! Don’t beat yourself up too badly, we have all been there. We have all been guilty of the “out of sight, out of mind” thinking. It is an easy frame of mind to assume. The past is not a problem and the future seems further away. You can just sort of coast along. The hitch is that you are not fully involved in the present either. This in-between place in our hearts and minds is often where we struggle the most.
