Spring, for me is a season of hope. It is the time of year where my hopes are renewed. The warmer weather lifts my spirits and I feel more energetic. It's a time to appreciate nature renewing itself.

I believe we can also renew ourselves by reflecting on our lives and seeing where positive changes can be made. Despite pain, I think it is possible to be happy...if we take the time each day to focus on our many blessings our pain can be lessened. Focusing on what we are able to do rather than what we can't really does help. Our pain is real, I know that but it is possible to experiance joy when you are open to it.

What do you enjoy about Spring? I love the beauty of the flowering trees.

Enjoy the season yeah Hugs, Robin

I enjoy the fresh earthy smells. Smells of renewal. The sound of the birds. I heard a robin and a redwinged blackbird so far. That is a good sign. But the weatherman seems to be messing things up for me. He says a lot of snow predicted for tomorrow afternoon. Bah humbug!!! But I think that will be the last blast of winter. I hope so anyway.

I love to be able to get out and walk too. The roads just cleared up for me. Now more snow. But oh well, it wont be long.

Great thread Robin. I love to concentrate on the positive.

Hugs, Karen

I love the flowers, the birds singing. I was out today and someone was cutting grass - love that smell!!  It is 80 degrees here today and tomorrow!!! I love it. The sun is shining, the trees are getting leaves, the grass is turning green!! It is a wonderful time of the year :)

I love everything about spring, except the wind.  Love seeing the trees budding, the flowers coming up, the sunshine from my marsh marigolds.  I love sitting on the patio and listening to the boats in the bay, especially the ferry's.  The sound of the birds is great too.  Winter is too quiet and too bleak for me.

I love watching the ducks and geese return to the river which I can see outside my window.  I love the smell of renewel and the color replace the white landscape.  It is my favorite time of year!

I love to open the windows and having the fresh air and sunshine come in. I tend to become a hermit in the winter time and my mental attitude is usually not very good. In the spring though, It is hard to lay in bed or on the couch when you can smell the fresh air and feel the warmth of the sun. It energizes me somehow and I get up and do something and smile. Thanks Robin for that reflection......Bay

Last year when Spring came - I made some changes in my life. I went on a weight loss program and in 9 months, lost 78 pounds. I also cut out 6 medications that I was taking for pain and depression. Though I still have pain from my fibro, my outlook has changed so much. This Spring is an end to a very tough winter. Our friend was killed in a horrific fire and our bankruptcy was final - we lost our home in Wisconsin.

Soooo..........Spring is something I really look forward to this year, as always. I love to sit on my deck, in the sunshine, and watch my beagle jump and play. I'm in the middle of a crummy fibro flare right now - due to the last snow storm of the season (hopefully) here in Michigan, I'm sure. I guess I look forward to days in the sunshine, where the fibro isn't so bad before the humidity of summer comes and ruins that. lol Anyway - I love spring - thank you for this thread.

Spring sunshine-the chance to dry the washing outside again (not sure many of you in the States will follow this!!), the warmth penetrating down to the achey parts. This year hopefully approaching the end of a horrendous long and cold, snowy winter in a static caravan and (please soon!) moving back into our renovated house-oh I so much need to be able to bath every day..........And the comedy of the fact it was 17 degrees C yesterday and there is snow forecast for the weekend!!! Only in the UK! smilewinkgrin

My daffodils are in bloom and they give me happy memories and hope. Also I'm one who happens to love weather...most any kind but extremely hot. So when those spring storms come along, wind and all, I love it~! I agree with you freckle...I love hanging out my laundry and the smell of those freshly dried sheets on the bed is heaven. Hubby made one of those pulley clotheslines for me so all I have to do is walk onto the deck and right outside one door is the 'business' end of the line. I hand, move the line along, hang more, etc until it's full. I'm just steps away from our bed through the door and those sheets are ready to go on as soon as they are dry. Supposed to be somewhat decent out tomorrow. Might just have to dust off the clothesline and get it warmed up for the season.

Thanks for the great topic, Robin!
