CHAPTER 3, PAGE 21

Spring brings trees, grass, crops and gardens in every shade of green; yellow pond flowers, crocuses, daffodils, tulips, and other spring flowers; cool evenings and warmer days; open houses for grads; the return of the summer-only birds; geese nesting near the pond; baby ducks, baby geese, and fawns; the first bounty from the garden; Women’s History Month; April Fool’s Day; Earth Day; Passover; Cinco de Mayo; Mother’s Day; Father’s Day; Flag Day; Easter; Memorial Day, and many more seasonal holidays and traditions to celebrate.

GOOD MORNING !

Lots and lots of good things do come with Spring time. I’m sure that the list above doesn’t even begin to cover all the things that Spring does bring, but it’s a beginning.

Life is full of moments and the longer our earthly journey takes us the more opportunities we have to create, observe and forget them.

Journaling certainly has a way of helping us to remember. Moments of exquisite joy and fond memories are often forgotten until something triggers our brain and brings them back. ‘Aha’ moments that should not be forgotten. We all have much to teach and perhaps to learn as well.

In the movie ‘The Sound of Music’ Julie Andrews sang The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Music. That is the way I like to think of Spring ! I love the beautiful flowers and all their wonderful smells and brilliant colors.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Take the best parts of life and go with them

May your day be blessed with a few SMILES and lots of SUNSHINE to warm your heart

I enjoy the springtime, just not the hot weather that generally accompanies it, here in sunny southern California! :/   I know all on the East coast look forward to it, because of the cold weather they have had to endure for the past few months!

Beautiful, heartfelt entry, once again.. :)

Sound of music! I think I've seen that movie a thousand times. LOL!

Didn't look like spring today here. Our high was 39 degrees. It's got to go up a bit so my oil bill can go down. : )
