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

It's official!  Spring has sprung. There is something about each season that I have grown to love.  For me, the rejuvenation of nature reminds me of my need to adhere to the necessary changes in my mind, body, and spirit. I love the spring season and here are 20 reasons why:

  1. I can put the top down on my car and feel the wind in my face.
  2. I can wear my favorite flip-flops again.
  3. My days of taking walks in the rain are back!
  4. Baby birds are chirping and new animal babies are born.
  5. Flowers are a bloomin’!  All the colors of the rainbow will soon be in full bloom.
  6. Gardening gives me a peaceful mind and a little bit of exercise too. (But I could do with out the weeding part!) It’s time to start planning what herbs, fruits, and vegetables to plant and to think of ways to not kill what I am cultivating!
  7. My ten speed has been calling my name for months!  I am going to hit the road and take in the beauty of nature.
  8. It’s BBQ season!  I can’t wait to grill some of my favorite foods and hang out with family and friends.
  9.  Green grass…I have missed you.  I don’t even care that you will need a little landscaping once a week. (Check back with me during the summer because I may have changed my tune…we have a big lawn!)
  10. It’s sundress and shorts season.  I have had enough of my winter wardrobe!
  11. The days are longer!
  12. I get to sleep with the windows open and listen to the rain.
  13. Beach walks are more fun!  I am a California girl and I love the ocean.  Taking long walks on the beach gives me time to think about life, to meditate, feel the soft sand beneath my toes, and to daydream a little bit.
  14. The aroma of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers is soon to fill the air!
  15. The sunny days allow for time to break out the lawn chair, grab a good book, and sit by the pond.
  16. Hiking trails...watch out.  I have been looking around and I am ready to take on more hikes this year.
  17. Hello spring! I am a girly-girl.  I love to wear high heels and winter is not my friend!
  18. Sun, sun, sun!
  19. I can star gaze late at night and not freeze to death.
  20. Spring brings us closer to summer!
