I always say that it’s not spring until after Easter, no matter what the date. Somehow, Easter weather seems to end up being cold. Despite that, it truly must be spring. The delicate, little, yellow flowers with no name appeared through the melting snow and now my purple crocuses are in full bloom! I LOVE SPRING!!! I love seeing the last of the cold receed and the warm, but not hot, days appear. I love watching the plants emerge from their slumber and my dog become more energetic! It won’t be long and the pear trees will be in bloom!
Spring is about a new and fresh beginning after the challenges of winter. So this year, spring is full of many new beginnings. The children have only 2 more days attending school in the Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati (5 miles from home). After spring break, they will return to their newly renovated school, complete with playground equipment and only 1.3 miles from the house! In the midst of boxes everywhere, there is a sense of excitment in the air!
Craig is also about to make some changes, also. Next week are his exams and then he will have finished school with an associates degree in nursing. This will allow him to sit for the RN state certification. When that is complete, then new opportunities await him.
And not to be overshadowed, the biggest transformation of all, the ressurrection of Jesus is about to be celebrated. The Easter ressurrection brings each of us new life, no matter what darkness in which we have traveled.
So, enjoy the spring. Be thankful for the new beginnings and take advantage of the fresh start of each new day!
I’m so happy to read that your hubby is finishing up his nursing! How exciting! It seems like forever ago that we were discussing our husbands wanting to move forward. Mike starts the BSN program in June, which is what he really wanted. How exciting!
