Spring

Ahh, I love when you can REALLY feel that Spring has arrived!

There is something to be said about being able to go outside in just a sweater (verses a shirt, a sweater, winter jacket and all the goodies like mittens).. actually, there is something to be said about being able to spend more time outside than what it takes to run as fast as you can from the house to the car and still feeling like a popsicle.

I love how 'new' Spring is. To actually be able to see the grass changing from brown to the fresh green, seeing the buds appear on trees, flowers beginning to emerge from the ground, and the plethora of birds and other wildlife that seem to reemerge from hiding.. Everything old is new again.

I hear the word 'rebirth' being tossed around often in regards to the Easter holiday and for Spring as a whole.  I like that sentiment - using the changing season as a starting point for your own personal 'rebirth', so to speak.  To hell with New Years resolutions!  Why not start a new tradition and make a resolution in the Spring?

I personally think I would be a little more inclined to actually follow through with a resolution (*cough*) when it is not -30C and I am cooped up inside. 

I personally don't have any resolutions that I am hoping to make/follow through, but I can appreciate the 'rebirth', as I have had to make a lot of changes in my life this year so far.
