SPRING - A TIME OF RENEWAL AND REBIRTH

5/12/2022

 
Is there anyone who does not enjoy spring?  For me, I think it is my favourite season.  After a long winter, it is so delightful to be able to pop outside without having to don boots, a heavy coat, mitts, and so on.  Perennials are starting to poke their beautiful shoots out of the ground.  As farmers start to prepare their fields for planting, the contrast of our red soil against green grass is absolutely stunning.  And barns everywhere are welcoming new lambs, kids, chicks…..

A part of my spring routine involves a good spring cleaning of the studio.  I nourish the wood furniture with a fresh coat of Ewe Love wood wax.  I do the same for any wood knitting tools that have worked hard for me all winter – knitting needles, looms, swifts.  To once again throw open the windows and give the studio a good airing is not just delightful for me but also inspirational!
But sometimes we do not give ourselves the same care.  We don’t always nourish ourselves physically with proper nutrition and healthy sleep habits.  We don’t take the time to give our mental health a good spring cleaning.  What?!?  Well – what I mean is that we need to take the time to reassess our daily lives on occasion.  What brings us joy, what brings us peace and tranquility.  Each of us has only a finite amount of time on this beautiful planet.  And I’m finding that, the older I get, the faster that time flies by.  I can’t change what has happened in the past.  And while we can’t control or predict the future (who could have foreseen Covid?), we can alter our habits to change our life path.  
Just like we prioritise tasks we need to get done at work, we need to prioritise those things that bring us joy.  More quality time with family and friends, more time spent with activities that you find fulfilling – knitting, gardening, yoga, playing a musical instrument.  
I recently read an inspirational quote:  “You are the author of your life’s story.  Start creating the life story you want to read.”  (photo courtesy of Carrie Green, Female Entrepreneur Association)

My life story won’t be the same as yours.  You’ll never find me mountain climbing, bungee jumping or parachuting.  That simply is not my cup of tea!  In fact, my cup of tea tends to be a cup of coffee.  But isn’t that what makes life interesting?
