Sun and Spring make me Smile

Today was a good day.    I did manage to have all of my coworkers mad at me but the funny thing it was not really my fault in anyway.  Oh well moving on.   I ran today during lunch.   The minute I walked out the back door into the sun I lifted my arms to the heavens and soaked in the warm glow.   I also felt God raining down peace, patience and kindness.   I am not a sit all day kind of person and I typically don't have a strictly sitdown job.   But today was completely different.   We were slower then normal so I had some quality at  my desk, about 4 hours to be exact.  About 11:30 I began to get jittery and felt like a caged animal pacing around.   I wouldn't say it was anxiety but more energy.   After the last couple of weeks of feeling depressed I felt good, too good.   Then I stepped out the back door and started to run.   I ran toward the lake with not a cloud in the sky.   Water to the east as far as I could see.   There  was a couple of people with dogs and a few other runners, we greeted each other with enthusiatic smiles and waves like we were living in our own secret world.   There were kids and parents feeding the ducks and the crane was out to start the process of  putting boats in the marina, hopefully soon.  I ran the first mile too hard but I couldn't help it.   I had too much energy, the day was too nice, I felt happy, and I was coming out of hibernation.   The second half of the run was a little harder but I got back to the office just in time to fix the chaos and even get to assist in a surgery.  No more sitting for me.   I chalk up today in the win column.  My family thinks that I am solar powered and I am tending to agree with them.   Why is it for me that God seems so close on the good days but so far away on the bad?   Like I am afraid to bother Him.  As I sit here tonight in my newly painted house, which looks and feels amazing, I am at peace.  Praise God.
