Yes, this last blizzard will be hard to get past, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel. This season always seemed to save me. Just when I thought I was at the end of my rope, it would appear in all its splendor. The sun would start shining, the flowers would start blooming and the robins would start chirping. Like melting the snow from the sidewalks, it always erased any feelings of depression I had.
Spring is like the relief pitcher in a baseball game.
You may think that your starter will make it the whole game, but the fact is, come the eighth, his pitches have no juice. You bring in the relief at just the right time to finish the game and give you a win. Today, the campus of Iowa State will be virtually vacated as students will travel to all ends of the world to enjoy this time. But don't fret if you have to stay in Iowa. Enjoy your week of rest and keep pressing on, because there are better times ahead.
