Spring is all about blooming

Dear readers, spring is my favorite season! Although I live in Texas where we do not have the traditional four seasons and we do miss the snow, springtime is the best time here too. Spring is the end of dreary cold winter for many places on Earth and it is a new beginning everywhere. The tagline for my blog is every day is a new beginning, and this is a perfect post to remind everyone that come what may, life never stops and a new season comes, and that there is always a new day and a new beginning.

Introduction

Spring is in the air! Officially in the US and the entire northern hemisphere, the spring season begins on March 20 and ends on June 21. These are the three months out of the twelve that are just so alive, refreshing, green, blossoming and colorful. With the increase in daylight, our brain activity also improves and people feel more positive, healthy and hopeful.

For many it is the end of winter, so people look forward to spending more time outdoors. As the day length increases, there feels like more time in hand. Whether it is pursuing a hobby, starting a physical activity, or getting more time to socialize, people feel more happy and comfortable with the extra daytime in hand.

My experience

Gardening is something I immensely enjoy and spring is the time I plant new seeds for flowers and vegetables. In no way do I have a green thumb, but I do not give up easily and persistence pays off. Every year, I have some new growth from sowing a few things and it makes me happy and delighted to see a new bud, flower, sprouts or vegetables. Below are some pictures from my gardening done over the years.

For me spring also brings my husband’s and younger one’s birthday and draws our wedding anniversary and older one’s birthday closer, which are both in June. In fact, all of our special occasions fall between March and August! There is no better joy and happiness than sharing these special occasions with family and friends. The one week of spring break is an added bonus as an educator. I love, love spring. Needless to say, spring is something I always look forward to and enjoy.

Below are the 5 reasons I love spring:

Read my five reasons to love Spring out of the so many others I can not pinpoint:)

• Longer days

Gives me more time to get things done, as we extend our dinnertime a little later too. There is no going to or coming back from work in the dark. There is time and energy in the weekend to go more outdoors. Walks and hiking take a forefront.

• Special occasions

With one birthday in March, one in April, and another birthday and our marriage anniversary in June, spring to summer times are the special occasions for our family.

• Time to refresh

Fortunately, working in the education sector, the one week of spring break in March is the perfect time to relax, take a break and rejuvenate. Summer break also comes closer which is for 2+ months starting in early June or May end.

• Gardening

Being able to pursue my hobby of gardening gives me pleasure and a goal to look forward to. In addition, I like doing any yard work including weeding, watering landscape and mulching.

• Travel plans

Spring is also the time where we anticipate and start planning for the summer vacations. Although I am a believer in living in the present, I can’t help but feel excited, hopeful and enthusiastic about where our summer traveling will take us!
