Your Eternal Sunshine

Thank You Notes #44

Image by Trista Signe Ainsworth. Sunny daffodils

“Despite the forecast, live like it’s spring.” ― Lilly Pulitzer

Out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a bright flash of yellow. Tiny daffodils emerged like magic from our deck planter. They brought hope, love, and a ray of eternal sunshine.

It is the time of year when new plans take shape, dreams form in sparkles and rainbows, and the world is a little bit brighter.

Life feels like an array of new possibilities unfurling themselves like the buds and leaves in the garden. It is a time to gather our energy and imagine a place of infinite wishes.

I feel a spring in my step, ready to plant fruit trees, flowers for the hummingbirds and bees, and a few herbs for our kitchen. It is time to plan our summer adventures and not limit our goals.

Like the daffodils, we can rise up, triumphant, knowing we matter on this Earth. We can leave our mark with a loving word and by planting a seed.

This week’s theme is:

Spring in your step.

What makes you feel joyful this time of year? Who and what do you appreciate in your world?

We welcome your stories, poems and articles about spring.
