Things I Have to Have: Anticipation of Spring (Republished from April 2024)

Technically we are in spring. To me, we are in the “anticipation of spring”. On the precipice. RIGHT NOW!

The days where all things are transitioning rapidly from bleak to BEAUTIFUL! The fickle weather confusing all of us living things. Not knowing just how far to emerge each day from our cocoonish mindsets and modes of hibernation. This time of year always does this to us! 

So what do I love about it? The ANTICIPATION of course! It’s something I have to have! The time I get to LOOK FORWARD to something very special. A time which, in and of itself, IS special! And not to be missed!

A period that’s temporary. It doesn’t last forever. It’s not meant to. Eventually, we get there. We get through. We get to the other side. God willing, it’s GOING TO HAPPEN! There’s comfort in that…don’t you think?

I kind of enjoy the weather fluctuations. Not having to totally commit to one season or the other. Seems silly, but I like the challenge of layering up. Being prepared for anything!  For cold…then warm…then cold again…maybe hot…prepared for anything! ANYTHING! You know what I’m saying…

Mostly, this time of anticipation brings growth. Growth of all living things! A full revival of nature. Continuously connecting us with God and the universe, in gratitude, for all that we have.  Reminding us, that we too must keep growing personally. I consider spring a transfiguration, an ascending season. Compelling me to keep ascending in body, mind, and spirit. To keep elevating. Because if we’re not growing, ascending, and elevating, then we are actually diminishing, descending, and not even staying the same…unfortunately. But that’s just my belief, what do you think?

Now’s the time when people get revved up to be out and about, re-connecting with others, as we were created, and meant to be, in communion with each other. And we’ve been given this gorgeous planet to live on, and care for, TOGETHER!

Time to GET READY! To break free from the confines of winter and our closed, little worlds. Looking forward and onward to the expectation of more physical activity, more sunlight, more vitamin D, more warmth, more heat, less clothes! I LOVE that! Healthier bodies and better moods on the horizon! Doesn’t that sound GREAT?!?!

Be ready to GET OUT THERE! I know I am! Because there’s people out there…and a beautiful world to see…and a lot to do!

I’ll see YOU, out there!
