Spring is finally here. That alone is enough to make my spirit jump with joy. This is, no doubt, a gorgeous time of the year as nature comes alive with new birth.
With spring comes spring-cleaning. We all seem to naturally want to clean things out, freshen things up, and make our homes sparkle after a long winter, at least to
some degree. Making things beautiful inside and out, we want our homes to be fresh and new just like outside in nature.
Spring is a time to come alive. To come alive is exhilarating … especially if you have not been in that state for a while whether from a long hard winter in nature or from life’s hard knocks.
Below is a facebook status update from my girlfriend that I would like for you to ponder …
Spring has come to Pennsylvania. As I was clearing away dead leaves and debris in my flowerbeds, I was reminded that now is a prefect time to do the same within ourselves. ~ BI
No matter what emotional state you might find yourself in and for whatever reason, how can this beautiful season of spring, spring you forward into a higher exhilarated state of being alive?
As you become still and ponder my girlfriend’s thought, what debris in your own life do you need to clear away? There is fresh soil under the dead leaves and debris. What might you find after you have cleared it out? How alive might it make you feel once it is all gone? What’s the first step you need to take towards making it happen?
Spring is a time to come alive … Go for it!!!

Love this, Shileen! It is a wonderful time to clear our debris….shake off the winter depression and start a new season.
You are not kidding, Stephanie!! And this past winter was a hard one! lol I am working daily on doing just that … shaking it all off!
I am heading to the lake right now for a walk to soak in the beauty of the season.
As always, Stephanie, thank you for stopping by and for all of your support! Hugs!!
Shileen,
That was very well said. I totally agree. I couldn’t have said it better myself. LOL!!!!
Have a great day
Miss you.
I have one further thought…after clearing away the debris why not plant seeds of renewal. What things do you find in your heart that now may be the time to act on?
Becky! I love it! As you well know my dear girlfriend… we all have dreams tucked away in our hearts that need to be unearthed. We all need to follow your example, step out in courage, and let our spirits soar as those tucked away dreams become a reality.
Hmmm … I’m thinking there may be another article wrapped up in this and an interview may be in order… =)
Hi Lee! Thank you! I’m glad you like it.
