Renewal

Spring is always a time when we feel a sense of renewal.  After a long winter and little daylight or sun - longer days and the fresh look of spring plants making their way above ground makes us feel refreshed and new again. 

Longer days and more sunlight start to make us feel warm even when the thermometer still says it's in the upper 30's.  We break out the garden tools and start to ponder what to plant in our gardens this summer.  Visiting family and friends, taking vacations and having barbeques sound like a good excuse to break away from cleaning and/or working.   Soon a sense of excitement, the sound of laughter and music will fill the streets. 

After a few months of hibernating, working on my house, I know I'm looking forward to this.  How about you?  What are you looking forward to this summer?  Share your thoughts.
