Spring: Spring has sprung in our part of the world. After such a harsh, long winter – it is so nice to see the weather start to change, the sun is hotter, the days are longer, some birds are starting to come back.
In the winter, things seem so still. There is a lot less movement. In spring, things seem to come alive.
Spring is my favorite time of the year – to me it represents new beginnings…
Things feel different in the spring, your perspective seems to be brighter, your mood a little happier – just because of the time of year. It’s funny how that happens – and you can see it on other people – on their faces, the way they carry themselves – it renews and rejuvenates people.
The winter is dull and dreary, which is probably why our moods tend to follow and then with the spring, it is alive, renewed and fresh and that affects our mood in the same way. It gives us a boost!
My favorite part of spring is when the leaves start to burst forth from the trees and things get green again – new life, things start to bloom – it’s so pretty and alive and colorful.
I am grateful for spring. I am grateful that this year wasn’t a quick weather change – the snow has been melting fairly slowly with temperatures just above freezing during the day and below freezing during the night – keeping the thaw minimal each day. If the weather change was quicker or warmer or warm through the night, our thaw would have happened faster and with the amount of snow, we could have seen some flooding.
Questions to Ponder:
What is your favorite time of the year?
How does your mood change with the season changes?
How does that affect others around you?
