I live in Chicago, where the winters are notoriously brutal. But Spring – oh that beautiful Spring.

I’ve been feeling it start to finally creep in over the last few days and I’m so excited I shout my joy across Lake Michigan. Though, probably for not very long, because the wind coming off that thing is still a beast.

Spring has almost Sprung. Hibernations are ending. Realizations about our body shapes are dawning on us.

As we head into 2020’s next chapter, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons of this changing of the season.

After carefully considering the advantageous and disadvantages, I’m ready to declare Spring officially sanctioned. By me. Let it arrive!

I can’t wait to emerge from my apartment, blink steadily at the sunlight, and then immediately jump on a yacht that I definitely have.

What are YOU looking forward to this Spring?
