Today is March 20th, the first day of spring. I am reminded that March is the time of year where we begin to anticipate a transformation of winter's gloom into spring's new life. Where winter's dark shadows are replaced with spring's soft, supple light. In northern climates like Idaho and the Intermountain West, the spring season serves to usher in the fresh faces of such delicate flowers. Delicate flowers who proceed into the light cautiously, slowly exposing their gentle petals to the longer, warmer days of sunlight. Spring is a time to celebrate renewal, new life and a renewed sense that while there are things in our lives that will always bring us sorrow, there will, in turn, always be things in our lives that bring us joy. I guess it's up to each of us to remind ourselves to take the time and look around to spot moments of joy.
Welcome spring!
Even the dog is feeling frisky!
