Fresh blueberries might be my favorite food. When it is blueberry season here I buy 10 pound boxes of them, and eat every single one. I also freeze them for the rest of the year, because frozen blueberries are fantastic. I have a serious blueberry obsession. Today fresh blueberries were cheap at the store, they are out of season right now, but they are cheap and available today. I am grateful to have a supply of fresh out-of-season blueberries sitting in the fridge.
I am pumped that tonight, I will be eating a fistful of these awesome berries. I am quite literally excited about this. This is an odd thing to be excited about, but I am going to go with it. They are giving my day a little boost, that is never a bad thing.
This little boost makes me think there is something more to this spark. Isn’t there something wonderful about getting things out of season? It could be food, it could be music, it could be anything. Maybe that’s why summer league basketball is fun to watch, after a couple months of no basketball I am ready for a little dose of ball again. I watch a lot of basketball in the winters, but then there is a long gap of no basketball. I’m all for things being seasonal, it is the nature of things. It is still nice to get a little taste of something out of season, it is a little spark of magic I think.
I think maybe this is magic we can use a bit more. We can get stuck doing things we like seasonally. Well there is little reason to hold most things to a single season or time. Ice cream is still good in the middle of winter, and soup is pretty good on a hot day still. Maybe doing things out of season can be a little touch of spontaneity and fun to break up monotony. There is magic here that we can all wield. This post stops here because its time to go eat some blueberries.
