Welcome Primavera!!

Spring captured in San Donà, Venice

Today is officially the first day of Spring 2019. My heart is full because the cold is over (not literally though!)

Spring is the season of celebration, the joyful one. It is the proper epitome of hope and faith.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome.
-Anne Bradstreet

He is my Spring

This blooming season reminds me that hope is real and no matter what you have been through, you will always see things getting better. Regardless of your situation and circumstances, you'll find the light that shines you through.

The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.
Harriet Ann Jacobs

The one that I am forever grateful of

Also, the smell of grass and its daisies and dandelions will warm your heart. Can you imagine they bloom out of nothing? We can do too.

Just don't forget to be happy and thankful. The universe will easily fall in love with this kind of soul.

The hope within me

May Spring brings you a joyful feeling and more importantly: hope. The way it does to me!

Spring

BY GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS

Nothing is so beautiful as Spring –          

   When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush;          

   Thrush’s eggs look little low heavens, and thrush          

Through the echoing timber does so rinse and wring          

The ear, it strikes like lightnings to hear him sing; 

   The glassy peartree leaves and blooms, they brush          

   The descending blue; that blue is all in a rush          

With richness; the racing lambs too have fair their fling.          

What is all this juice and all this joy?          

   A strain of the earth’s sweet being in the beginning 

In Eden garden. – Have, get, before it cloy,          

   Before it cloud, Christ, lord, and sour with sinning,          

Innocent mind and Mayday in girl and boy,          

   Most, O maid’s child, thy choice and worthy the winning.
