Springtime Affirmations

I woke this morning to the scent of springtime as I was listening to the breath of mother nature fiercely stirring the tree branches and then calming to a softer whisper. As each billow faded, I could hear birds busy at work and play, joyful and excited to begin anew. They seem to dance with the rhythm of the rain softly beating upon my window. Yesterday I could see my perennials peeking their heads up from the thawing soil as they looked around for the warmth of the sun which is still veiled by a rolling gray mist. A wave of enthusiasm came over me. I am looking forward to planting seeds and watching my gardens grow and flourish. Everything new again! According to my own personal inner calendar, this is MY new year. This is a time to leave what doesn't serve me behind. A time of wonder and joy to breathe in new life into my dreams and aspirations. Nature doesn't look back, nor should I. I will plant new seeds and watch them come into fruition in every area of my life. Oh how springtime and the beauty of nature renewing itself inspires me. Oh how grateful I am. Through this spirit of appreciation I accept new and wondrous experiences into my life. Take a moment today to be still and notice everything around you. Don't think about what is behind you nor what is in front of you. Let every sense you have be filled with the signs of new life and energy and enjoy the moment.
