It is so nice to feel like spring is on its way. I don’t know what it is about this time of the year but the weather is nice, you can actually get sunshine in your windows, it’s daylight longer during the day. This season of birth and change is a wonderful time of the year for me. I think that there is something about it that makes me feel like it’s time to get some things done as well. Spring gives me hope that things are going to come together after all.
It seems like even though we think of spring as a season for animals to be born and the weather to get nicer and the flowers to bloom; it seems like people also go through something at spring time. I’ve noticed more people smiling, I’ve noticed more babies being born, it just seems different. I don’t know if it’s the nice weather or what it is, but I do enjoy seeing the changes all over.
Spring and fall have always been my favorite seasons of the year because they both involve change. I love the fall colors and how the flowers bloom in the spring. I love how it feels different, it gives you more and it’s a beautiful change. I never have to wonder if I will like it or not because the leaves always change to the vibrant fall rainbow and spring breaks the powerful and majestic thunderstorms and gorgeous flowers. It’s funny how even though a lot of people associate fall with dying things, I still think it’s beautiful and just the right temperature. You can enjoy the outdoors, without hiding from the sun or the snow. Spring is the same, warm breeze that comes and sweeps through everything after the darkness of winter. Even down in the south where there isn’t much of what the northerners would call winter, it is still bleak, cold, and gloomy at times. Spring is refreshing and makes you enjoy life again.
Spring and fall bring about a change that I can truly appreciate because they are the two seasons that are the most beautiful and I think the two that there is not a lot of arguing about when they show up. When the ground thaws and the flowers start to bloom it’s spring; when the leaves start changing colors and you bring out the sweat shirts, it’s fall. I like that it’s fairly consistent. I don’t have to wonder about how severe or if the weather will stay. These are the laid back seasons, a time to simply enjoy and not sweat the little things. Time to enjoy the fresh air and the beauty of nature.
