Wind it up - it is SPRING!

Yes, it is... SPRING has come upon us...finally!!! I often wonder how we survive the long cold winters, but as I have my tea this morning, I am sure it is the thought of spring. The joy and excitment of witnesssing the birth of new leaves, flowers and just the lush greens of spring. But why does all this joy have to be confused with so much work from the winter's damage? Ummmm...nothing comes free? Ummmm.....the best things are worth working for? I don't know about that, I would just like to sit back...watch the flowers bloom and not have to do all the work required to have natural beauty! we have to rake the dead grass away to allow the new grass to push though and be stronger. Ummmmm....again I am ummmmmming...this morning. Is this like with life.....as we have something that affects our lives....should we also rake it away to allow for the new growth within us to emerge? Should we consider our lives and the changes that life gives to us as a spring. Spring requiring work to make it fresh and grow better. I do believe this is true for us as well. We can't go through life with all the dead branches, the piles of fallen leaves piled on ourselves. So this is it for today....clean out your mind, excerise that brain....allow the spring to be fresh and new, inside and out!!
