Thankful Thursday

Source

Spring! I'm so thankful that spring has finally arrived. I was starting to wonder if it would ever come. Spring is used for many metaphors in life and rightly so. Spring often feels like it will never come at the end of a long grueling winter that doesn't seem to want to let go. When Spring does finally come, at least for me, it makes everything better. I forget those slushy gross days, those long months where we couldn't do much outside (which is hard with an active toddler!) and those chilled to the bone days. My mood is so much more peppy and I just have a better outlook on life in general. Flowers start popping up, there are buds on the trees and oh my, is that GREEN grass?! 
Spring is certainly a season of life as well. I know sometimes I feel like I'm in a very long winter. The sky is gray and everything around me feels dead and cold and I want to hid away from it all as I wait for those better sunny days. Then suddenly without warning I can start to see flowers popping up and I know that "spring" is coming in my life. It certainly gives me a new energy! 
Everything is better when there are flowers around right?
