Spring has sprung!
I've been thinking a lot today about why I like spring time here in the USA! Today, I'm sitting in my office with my office door open to the backyard, my dog sitting at the door and we are hearing the birds chirping--yep, spring has sprung at least for a while. In Finland, they have this word that describes when the spring comes and then winter returns for a short time--that happens in our lives at times as well. Anyway, the reason I like spring is because of the new beginnings and expectations that come. Everything is growing new and I always see myself start planning goals about the year ahead. I don't think much about that in January, but once spring springs--the ideas start going and the excitement starts to grow. I love it! I love having my door open when I work, I love hearing the birds chirping and the kids outside bouncing balls and riding their bikes, I love the longer days and the short nights. I love new beginnings. God, thank you for these new beginnings whether it is a yearly thing like spring or something new in our lives--thank you!
