*Sigh* it's Spring

“It's spring fever.... You don't quite know what it is you DO want, but it just fairly makes your heart ache, you want it so!” - Mark Twain

*Sigh* This is a good blog to send out a sigh into the world of the web. This is a well needed and good sigh though. I went for a walk yesterday morning just as the sun was on the horizon. The world was bathed in a orange glow. It was awakening, shaking off the long cold sleep of winter. I just wanted to stay in that moment. That moment of renewal; the beginning of a new seasonIt is finally spring! The world is finally coming out from it's hiding underneath it's blanket of snow. I do love the winter, but there is something beautiful and magical about the spring. It is the time when it seems as if the world takes off the mask of winter and steps out into becoming what is it meant to be. It blooms into life again. It starts to reveal it's beauty and it's as if the world puts on a smile, well not quite a smile more like a grin, a joyous, yet mysterious grin. It's like the quote by Mark Twain, there is something about spring that makes you long for something, something you can't quite figure out. There comes a sense of adventure. You are journeying into the unknown! You want to grow right along with the rest of the world; you no longer want to stay in within your comfort zone. You want to break free. Just like the butterfly sheading it cuccoon or the flower bursting forth from the bud. It may be painful at times and you may feel that you are not getting anywhere, but one day you realize that you have become something different, something beautiful, you have left the winter behind you. You have changed right along with nature. And you feel that you have grasped what it is your heart longed and ached for, you may still be unsure of what it really was, but your heart is at peace. I encourage you to experience the spring and grow with the world. Stretch yourself, expand your abilities and possibilities. Allow God to shape you into the person that He wants you to be. It may be hard sometimes, but one day you will look back as see how far you've come and perhaps long to go even further. Seasons do change andevery one is worthwhile; they all can become an opportunity for you to experience something new.
