march first

 Here's to a long hard cold winter being over. 

And I don't mean the weather. 

I am ready for Spring in my life... and with this month heralding my fiftieth year, I intend to enjoy the gifts of warmth, sunshine, flowers, and energy that I am surrounded with every.single.day.

The move from Seattle to Orange County last week signaled the change, just as 'springing forward' into daylight savings time and the date March 21 on the calendar signals that winter is officially over and Spring is here at last.

For me, Spring begins TODAY. March First.
