Imbolc - once again

Today the celts are celebrating Imbolc to honor Bridgid and the awakening nature. Even in places where the snow is still covering everything, seeds in the ground start to wake up and try to grow. We only have some snow left and I took the chance to walk my favorite round in the park on the hill where green leaves are already bright beside the snow patches.

My favorite spots for harp playing are still covered with snow - but then it's still too cold for the harp outside anyway. The circle of branches was topped by someone with more branches - I can't wait to play there again.

Many birds were already giving a concert and event a squirrle was running from tree to tree up on the branches.

Imbolc is also the time to make plans for the year. Not just the farmers, planning where to grow which grains, but everyone. 

Walking the park I made plans to make 2015 my fittest year since my first pregnancy. I already lost a good number of pounds and now I try to help my body to get rid of the last unnecessary fat by visiting a fitness place to get more muscles.

As I also practice playing my harp twice as much as before, I hope to get good enough to play in front of strangers, maybe even on a small stage.

And finally I look forward to an adventure by going to Ireland again after 18 years and try to drive a car on the left side of the road, something I never dared to do before.
