DayLight Saving Time Begins
I think “Daylight Savings Time Begins” is a beautiful phrase to hear. I love it when I take a nap in the afternoon when I get home from work. It still be daylight outside when I wake up. Now don’t get me wrong. Taking a nap early in the afternoon can be tricky too.
Let’s say you take a nap around 4:30pm or 5:00pm. You wake up well rested and see its still daylight outside. Now this is where your mind can start to play tricks on you. You look at the clock to see what time it is. The clock reads 7:00 or 8:30 and the sun is shining brightly outside. For a split moment, you don’t know if it’s morning or evening. You panic because you think you’re supposed to be at work already. You jump up, start grabbing your clothes, and rush to the bathroom. In the middle of running, you pause because you start to think while your heart is still beating fast. You play back in your mind what happened before you went to bed. You know..you took a nap, had some conversations with some coworkers, and you’re already dressed. That’s when it dawns on you that you still have on the same clothes you wore to work. You look at the calendar on your phone and then the time. You see “PM”, but you do a “double take” to make sure you’re not trippin’. That’s when you realize you went to work already. Although its evening time, it’s still bright as day outside. As you can tell, this has happened to me a few times, LOL!!
It may be later in the evening like 7:30pm, 8:00pm, or 8:30pm, but it feels like I still have time in the day to do whatever before it’s time to go to bed. I may be at home for awhile and decide to run an errand after 7:00pm. Leaving the store while it’s still daylight outside after I’m done shopping is wonderful and it’s a win-win for me. By it still being light outside later in the evening changes my mood from wanting to go home and sleep the rest of the evening after work to wanting to be outside more enjoying nature and the sun. It’s like I have more energy. I try to think of places I can go to be outside longer. Sometimes, I may skip going to the grocery store and/or department store and just go hangout at the park. If it’s really nice and warm outside, I’ll park my car in a business parking lot and go for a nice long walk in the area.
So tell me..
Are you “for” or “against” daylight savings time beginning and why?

Spring
Hello. Let me give an introduction of who I am and what I do before I go into this blog. My name is Vanessa McCoy and I’m a self publishing author. I wrote and published three books (Metamorphosis Love: The Beginning Vol. 1, Metamorphosis Love: Pleasant Dreams & Wishes Vol. 2, & Metamorphosis Love: Tangible Love Vol.3) as eBooks and later as paperbacks. Metamorphosis Love is a collection of poems that shows my transition from being in relationships with men to being in a relationship with Jesus. I started writing poems to my boyfriend when I was in the eleventh grade while I was attending a Creative Writing program in the summer at my high school. I had fun expressing my thoughts and feelings on paper. I stopped writing two years later because I married my high school boyfriend and we had a family. As a first time wife and mother of two, my life became very busy. Well, things didn’t turn out the way I planned, we got a divorce, and I really started experiencing life as a young, divorced parent. After finding my way back to Jesus and being healed from a broken heart, Jesus told me to publish the poems I wrote in my early years. Jesus even told me to go back to what I love to do…write. This is my first blog. I’m a little bit nervous, but I hope you’ll like it.
Man! It felt like March was taking forever to get here, BUT, it’s finally here! Yayyyyy!! Did you know March is the first month of Spring in the Northern Hemisphere (North America, Europe, Asia, and part of Africa)? And did you know it’s the first month of Fall or Autumn in the Southern Hemisphere (South America, part of Africa, and Oceania)? Although this isn’t my favorite season, I’ll take Spring over Winter any day! Why? It’s amazing watching budding flowers, plant blades breaking through the ground or dirt in a pot, and leaves sprouting on trees. It’s like watching the rebirth of nature. Not only is Spring known for rebirth, but it’s known for renewal, rejuvenation, new growth, development, new beginnings, love, romance, reproduction, exploration, creativity, hope, and joy.
To finally come out of wearing dark colors and put on some warm pastel colors like lilac, baby blue, yellow, pink, mint green, and peach brings joy to my heart. These soft colors and some warm weather can brighten up a person’s heart. They can change a person’s mood to joy, happiness, or excitement. I know warm weather and pastel colors changes my mood in a great way. They put me in the mood to want to go window shopping to see new line of clothes on the racks, to smell new candle scents, or go wherever just as long as I’m getting out the house while it’s warm outside. I switch up the candles I burn in my home to a light floral fragrance. Sometimes, I’ll burn a candle that has a fruity scent. Most times, I’ll burn fruity candles in the Summer season. These are some reasons I’m looking forward to Spring season.
So tell me,
- How do you feel when the season shifts from Winter to Spring?
- What are some things you like to do in the Spring season?
