This time of year brings so many opportunities to look around at all the things we get to enjoy. So many reasons to smile. I wonder how often we look past those great things? Skipping right over them, because we didn't take the time to see it as a blessing. Something to appreciate and enjoy.
I decided to make a list of the "Springy" things that caught my eye, taking time to appreciate them. And smile.
Blessings #414-434
~ Mud puddles
~ Robins, splish-splashing, in the mud puddles
~ Spring break, which brings my college-age son home for a week
~ Hanging sheets on the clothes line to dry
~ The fresh smell of those air-dried sheets
~ Trees bursting with new leaves
~ My neighbor's giant Weeping Willow tree
~ Opening the windows to let the fresh air inside
~ The smell of rain
~ Noticing how quickly the grass turns from brown to green
~ The pansies by my front door, shouting "look at me" each time I walk by
~ A symphony of birds, singing outside my window
~ A bird nest in the tree branches, right next to our deck, where we can anticipate the hatching of little eggs, nestled inside.
~ The early morning dew, glistening on each blade of grass
~ The bright blue sky - the perfect backdrop to the white fluffy clouds
~ Noticing more and more people outside, walking and biking, and enjoying the change of seasons.
~ The first spring flowers, popping up all across town
~ Farmers, beginning to work in their fields
~ Eating lunch outside on the deck with my family
~ Going outside without a heavy coat
What are YOU thankful for today?
