silent as women wait for love
-Sara Teasdale
Today is the official last day of winter of 2012. Hooray and thank the fairies up above and all around!
What does Spring mean to you? To me it means starting fresh! It means wearing a ballet pink cardigan with a sparkley pin and matching lipstick.....
It means making cucumber dill tea sandwiches and a pitcher of iced tea and going to the park to enjoy it in the sunshine with friends....
Spring is a time to clean out your closet, recycle, donate and throw away all of the old things from winter that have been collecting dust and weighing you down....
Time to cut and dye your hair, walk more, drink more water, pick flowers and put them in voses all over the house....Light tea lights, eat fresh raspberries and listen to classical music while you clean out the fridge and get rid of the old......
I am so inspired in Spring to be the healthiest that I can be, mentally, physically, and spiritually....
Right now I am in a coffee house on the hill, staring at a palm tree outside the window and waiting for my friend who has just started a support group to help him quit smoking. He gave me his permission to write about this. I feel like it is a really healthy step for him and every other brave person in that group that wants to stop smoking. I am so proud of him for having the courage to open up to complete strangers about this addiction. I send him lots of love on his journey......
It is 5 on the dot and I am going to go and get myself a delicious and refreshing iced tea..... I will toast to a positive Spring season and bid farewell to a Winter that gave me it's fair share of challenges. In the end it forced me to take a long hard look at myself and ultimately show me insane amounts of perspective about what is really important in life!
I send all of you lots of love and I hope that you all have a wonderful Spring season.....Just as I told my friend earlier, baby steps.....A little bit every day goes a lot further than a whole lot every once in a while......Until next time.....
With a smile,
Reese
