The first sunny and mild day of the year, was a week or two ago here in PA. On that day, as if it was a scheduled event, all neighbors literally busted out of their houses at the exact same time. We stood outside in our drive ways, waving to each other and exchanging pleasantries, all looking a bit dazed and confused. And pale. Lol. I got the distinct feeling we all had to spend time outside for the same reason; to shake the cob webs of winter off and to feel the sun on our faces. It was the start of a new season.
Ah. Little tiny brave crocuses chasing winter away. They are such a vivid child hood memory of spring arriving.
Opening the door to something new
Each season has its own beauty, I truly believe that. But that being said, I think it’s still OK to have favorites. To me, the transition into spring is a wonderful time of year, because nature remind me that it’s all about rebirth, new beginnings and that we always always always have a chance to start over. Buds are blooming, birds are singing and it’s like earth is waking up and coming alive again. It’s simply a great season to take the opportunity to think of your own transition. Maybe pick something back up that have been lying dormant for a while and start over… or, open the door to something entirely new, something bold and unexpected…
Open the door… it may lead you to something you never expected!
So, what comes to mind for you when you think of change this season? For me, I am seriously thinking about registering for a summer course in metalsmithing at the local community college that I have been eye balling for a while. At this point, I am not sure if I will take the leap or not. On one shoulder I have “Impatient Nilla” who is very excited about moving forward, developing and learning more. On the other shoulder I have “Practical Nilla” who wants to make the very sound and reasonable decision to put focus on all the things that I have already started for right now. I’ll let you know who wins this riveting battle.
