Happy Spring!

Photo: The Genesis of Butterflies

The dawn is smiling on the dew that covers 
The tearful roses; lo, the little lovers 
That kiss the buds, and all the flutterings 
In jasmine bloom, and privet, of white wings, 
That go and come, and fly, and peep and hide, 
With muffled music, murmured far and wide. 
Ah, the Spring time, when we think of all the lays 
That dreamy lovers send to dreamy mays, 
Of the fond hearts within a billet bound, 
Of all the soft silk paper that pens wound, 
The messages of love that mortals write 
Filled with intoxication of delight, 
Written in April and before the May time 
Shredded and flown, playthings for the wind's playtime, 
We dream that all white butterflies above, 
Who seek through clouds or waters souls to love, 
And leave their lady mistress in despair, 
To flit to flowers, as kinder and more fair, 
Are but torn love-letters, that through the skies 
Flutter, and float, and change to butterflies.Yes....I'm skipping, whistling, singing and dancing....Spring has finally arrived! I'm sure most of you who have endured one of the worst seasons of winter are happy for the 'official' arrival of spring, although, this doesn't mean the effects of cold winter and continued effects of the winter season aren't still hanging around aggravating the heck out of some of us.

The sun is actually shining on the Southeastern coast and buds are on the trees, along with the aggravation of the pollen that arrives with it. I won't complain because I'm just happy that the atmosphere has physically changed/is changing.

Now is a great time to make some shifts/changes in your life that you've placed on hold. It's like putting away the winter clothing and spreading your wings for something lighter. Pull out that pad and wads of paper that you jotted down all those great ideas on during those dreary dark hours of frustration and cabin fever....Now is a great time to refresh the ideas, retool the invention, re-calibrate what you had in motion 'once upon a time.' Get the ball rolling again.....

It's the season of all things blooming.....Make sure you're in the mix....Plant seeds of success and nourish the dreams..../keep watch and prune often when adjustments should be made...Sow and watch for the harvest to spring forth in abundance. Happy Spring!
