Tis the Season
St. Patrick's day is over and Easter is on it's way. I love this time of year. It must be the dressing up. I enjoy deciding what outfit I'm gonna wear. Dressing entirely in St. Patricks colors, picking out the first, in my opinion, official spring outfit for Easter.
It might also be the "spring has sprung" mentality. It's so fitting that Easter comes at this time of year. There is such a feeling of newness in the air. Things are starting to turn green and bloom. It's such a renual. My daffodils are starting to pop up! I love talking to them and encouraging them to grow strong. Even the rain and storms are part of this feeling. I'm just full of joy at spring time. The sun and rain perk me up. It's almost as if nothing could go wrong, nothing could take away this "spring" in my step. I know that it will never last, but just for a little bit, I'd like to pretend it will.
I am thankful that there are different things to look forward to in different season, but there is just something about this season that makes me want to dance and jump and run and play. Good things are coming, my mind tells me. Family outings, BBQs, swimming, the zoo! All those outside activities. Ah! It feels so good to finally get outside after months of being cooped up indoors. I know that the boys feel it. Almost every minute I get asked to go outside.
Thank you, Lord, for the newness of life that you intended to come after long months of winter. Your plan was indeed perfect.
