Yes, there were snow flurries yesterday.Yes, I am still wearing gloves and a tossel cap.
Yes, the furnace still runs regularly.
Yet, according to the calendar IT IS SPRING!
Simply writing those words or saying them provides an energy, a boost.
Spring is here and soon the words written and proclaimed will be evidenced in green grass, flowers in bloom, warm temperatures, and baseballs in play.
The season of spring is something we anticipate each year and is one whose signs we mark easily. Already, the days grow longer and robins are hopping in the yards where flowers are coming to bloom. Of course, if we get snow those blooms will frost…yet, I digress….spring is here!
There is the season we mark by calendar and time. So to, there is the season of the spirit that we mark by a change in attitude, a new way of being, and a renewal.
This spring season I encourage you to claim newness. The resolutions that never took flight, try again.
This is a season of coming to life!
This is a season of energy released!
This is a season of hope!
Claim it!

I spent the first day of spring in an area of the country where the sun actually shines almost daily; Arizona! Although I don't mind the gloom of winter because candles glow and our fireplace warms throughout the days of shortened daylight, I DO want spring to bring light and warmth, in short supply for us lovers of the 'burgh this year. Phil really called it wrong on 2/3/13, but still, we know spring will eventually come and won't we be glad?!
ReplyDeleteSpring is just the best. I think of Snow Patrol's "Chasing Cars" song, "Show me a garden that's bursting into life." Spring is all about bursting into life. I am excited for the possibilities! Thanks for the great reminder!!!
