Spring is here!

---------------------------------------------------------
- By Bruno Gideon

Just like clockwork, nature is opening her eyes, stretching, and rolling out of bed to do her annual cleaning chores. Enough of this snow and ice and crusty ground. Time to freshen this place up with some nice grass, flowers, and budding trees. We’re part of Nature, too, so what’s to keep us from joining spring in this seasonal task? Out with hurtful emotions, resentments, and negative thoughts and in with a sunny smile and an optimistic attitude about the days to come.

Spring in the world!
And everything made new!
– Richard Hovey

Spring is nature’s way of saying, “Let’s party!”
– Robin Williams

All through the howling winds and frigid temperatures of winter, Nature winks at us and tells us: Don’t worry; nothing is permanent – I’ve got something good in store for you. Sure enough, just when it looks like despair is winning out, up pops cheerful spring to make everything new again. If you know someone who is down and "under the weather," why not share this wisdom with them? Help them leave winter behind and begin anew. Could there be any better way to welcome spring?
