Okay, I know that’s a really silly title, but it just popped into my head and I wrote it down. I have been appreciating spring so much this year. I love spring every year, of course, but this year I feel like I am appreciating it even more. The warmth… the birds singing… the flowers in bloom… the smell of blossoms in the air… it all feeds my spirit so much.
The lilacs are almost all done blooming now. Don’t they just embody the scent of spring?
Spring is so full of possibility. It can feel a bit overwhelming since we want to go in so many directions all at once, where to even begin? I am doing my best to breathe deeply, put my heart and hands to one task at a time, and appreciate the beauty around me in the midst of the busy and full days.
We have been opening the windows at every opportunity, and stepping outside in between the indoor tasks to bask in the beautiful weather, even if it is for brief moments at a time. One of our favorite things right now is to eat outdoors. I also love to drink a cup of tea while looking at the garden, and dreaming. Of course it’s not all sunshine and blossoms, there is a lot of work to be done, and we have been quite busy with it all.
What have you been appreciating about spring where you are?
