Ahhh Spring!

The wonders of Spring.

It’s a time for refreshing. Spring Cleaning. Opening up the windows. Flowers starting to bloom and trees blossoming. The birds are singing. There is a freshness to the air. Crisp mornings. Warmer temperatures and longer days.

Putting the shovels away and finally able to run in capris again! The sun shining on my face with the breezes blowing.

Taking walks and enjoying the beauty around. How beautiful and strong are these daffodils beautifully blooming within the weeds and brush? Amazing! I was stunned to see how beautiful and healthy they were. They were not allowing their surroundings to hid them. They are bringing beauty to show you that there is always beauty and hope regardless of the current circumstances.

Here’s a closer look…

So beautiful and strong despite the thorny bushes and weeds!

This brought so many thoughts and so many references to my mind. I think we all feel like we are fighting daily weeds in life. We are hidden amongst the struggles we face. The pressures from work. The demands to get 60 hours of work done in a 40 hour week. The rising costs of everything weighing us down and surrounding us making us feel like we can’t get ahead. The struggles of keeping up with the chores, the errands, the cooking and providing for our families. We can still stand strong and shine amongst the weeds. The weeds can’t steal our beauty. The weeds can’t take away our sun.

Taking the moment to reflect and capture the beauty amongst the weeds of life. Remembering there is always something beautiful and good out here and taking a moment to find it and enjoy it.

The birds chirping and singing reminding us it’s a new day, a new morning and another fresh beginning. Red-winged blackbirds, goldfinch, house finch, purple finch, tufted titmouse, chickadees, robins, woodpeckers, mourning doves, sparrows, loons and ducks all welcoming the day. Providing us a reminder that each day truly is a gift.

Being grateful everyday! If you look, you will always find something to be grateful for. Take the time to look around, found the beauty in each day. Choose gratitude daily! Start your day off right.

Transformation. New beginnings. Fresh Starts. Hope!
