Spring! It's great! Our thoughts are uplifted and we can gratefully say that winter is behind us; the best is yet to come.
The earliest harbingers of spring are back - crocuses and daffodils - robins and returning geese. There's a verdant promise in the breeze that's soon to be realized. Spring is a cycle of rebirth: the temperatures warm, the rains shower the sidewalks and streets, and the earth wakes up from its frozen slumber.
Spring happens rather quickly and catches us by surprise, but it's welcome nonetheless. It's time to lower our frosty guard and accept the newness of it all.
