Spring Into Motion
With warmer weather approaching and grass turning welcome shades of green, the earth is awakening and bringing new growth - our corner of the world is in motion. Are we?
Spring has always been the catalyst for "new beginnings" and "rebirth". As the earth is re-born with life, shouldn't we do the same with ourselves - you know, just to keep the pace? Our bodies have been storing nutrients and fat over the winter months. Spring is our opportunity to utilize those nutrients and put them to good use; a little elbow-grease can go a long way.
Put yourself in motion and get those things on your "to-do" list done. Do you need to paint a room in your house? Possibly plant a garden? Clean out your garage? All these are excellent ways to re-energize your body and your home at the same time. Washing your car, cleaning out your closets, washing your windows, doing yardwork, and of course going for a walk are also great ways to get in motion.
Spring and re-birth is not just for the earth. Because we live on the land and participate as a part of the environment, we owe it to our bodies, and our minds for that matter, to partake in the activity that gives new life to our surroundings. Go ahead - spring into motion. You, and your house, will be glad you did.
"Spring is a true reconstructionist."
