Ahh spring is finally here...

~ If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~

For those of us who share the dreary cold season, spring is a kind of rebirth or reawakening for us. A time of self-renewal, where as things are coming to life outdoors, they can also come alive within your-self.

Where we begin spring-cleaning, or reorganizing our closet, coming up with a new fitness routine or reevaluating our current diet, whatever it is your looking to alter, spring is a time for growth and change.

I know for myself that spring can have so many different meanings. The first spring that arrived after losing my son was an awakening of many sorts. It was a part of learning that life does go on. I could hear the birds singing see the grass growing, the sun shinning, and as much as I didn’t want to see it, it arrived as a gentle reminder to push me to try and begin to live again, even if it was with baby steps…

This year I look forward to spring with new meaning. Of course I want to clean out the closets and begin that spring -cleaning that needs to get done, but I also want to work on myself, my goals and my running.

What positive changes do you want to bring to your life this spring?
