I saw my first spring flowers today. It was just a bit of color peeking up from the brown leaves and and brown grass. I had to brush away some to the leaves to really find them. They are purple crocus and they made me smile. The sun was warmer than it's been and there was actually a gentle cool breeze. Just nippy enough so you still remember that's it's winter, but with the promise of spring on the horizon.

Just that little bit of color was enough. It was a feast for the eye, and a tonic for the soul. Had anything changed in my life? No.....only my outlook. No rose colored glasses for this girl, but just a different way of seeing.

"I'm convinced that the whole wold is better when we, as individuals, capture and savor each moment as the gift that it is, embrace the challenge or joy of it, and thereby transform it with the magic of creative possility." Luci Swindoll

I love the image of those first flowers, and I love the Luci Swindoll quote. This is the season when things are on the verge of coming to life. It's up to us to decide whether we choose to drink it all in.

Clearly, you have. Cool.

These flowers are really beautiful. Love of beauty and of all lovely and wonderful things is an essential for our growth. It brings reverence and a sense of transcendance into our personal love and into all life.

I posted my contentment on the spring day we had yesterday. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the quote by Lucy Swindoll you posted. I have got to add that to my sidebar so I can see it everyday as a reminder -- to savor each and every day!!
