              The Battle of Spring!
Isn’t this a great time of year!!
Sun is shining, flowers are
blooming, warm breezes swish
around you, stars sparkle brightly,
birds are chirping, folks are
singing and happy because winter
is over, children are playing, and
thoughts are on those new projects you are ready to start. Don’t forget the
warm lemon chiffon pie you just baked and is cooling on the window sill. You are
just covered up – almost smothered by those warm fuzzies and inspirations.
Wait a minute!!! That’s not right!! Weeds are growing, lawn needs mowing,
flower beds need hoeing, windows need washing, house needs repairs, got to go
to work, build a tomorrow (whatever), and kids are about to be out of school
and need supervision. Good grief! Who thinks of this stuff? And I don’t have
time to bake!!
So, you have a big decision. Are you a flower or a weed? Are you a busy bee or
a procrastinator? Are you creative or mired in stagnant sludge? Do you
karaoke or do you whine? Do you know what you want for tomorrow? Do you do
all you can today to improve what is around you? Are you good to yourself?
Can you see that reflection off the water looking back at you and saying “what’s
next?” Are you ready to be a big bright daisy and grow taller than before?
In the Spirit,
