March

'April is the cruelest month'.

That might be so, but now it's March, and I am sure as heck enjoying it!

I always forget how much joy spring brings. The rays of sun, the flowers, the sheer vibrancy of energy in the air, the prospect of the summer that lies ahead. In spring I particularly enjoy being a work-at-home mom. In between deadlines I potter about on the balcony which, slowly, day by day, is changing from gloomy to pretty. I am already wearing summer dresses when making my translations, in an excess of optimism and I start buying plenty of fresh fruit and veggies at the market. More than at any other time of year I feel like celebrating life. And..strange but true, this has a good impact on my work. I am much more productive and get better results whilst spending less time at my desk.

What about you out there? I'd like to know about the impact of seasons on productivity of parents with their own business!
