Spring has finally arrived. There have been the cold Spring days where your nose drips and goosebumps appear on your arms, but you still don’t grab a jacket. There have also been the hot sun on your face Spring days. For myself Spring brings a new feeling inside of me. A feeling of freedom from the indoors and the smell of fresh air. A feeling of a new beginning that lurks behind the warmer days. 

Lately, my heart has felt burdened by events that have taken place. The word “free” is far from what I have felt these past Winter months. But Spring is a wake-up call for me. As if something is pushing me and yelling at me to snap out of it! and live again. I lost myself in someone, in something I once believed in, but for some time now what I once believed in has remained in a distant past. We must keep moving forward and not become complacent. Surround yourself with those who push you to become better and brighter. A piece of my heart will always remain in the past, but I must be conscious to allow it to be open and bloom with each passing season.
