This morning at 12:48 spring finally arrived. 

I am so relieved to see the increase in light and the rise in temperatures.  My spirit has risen also. 

Winter continues to press down on my soul, but I refuse to give in to this seasonal condition. For those of you who live with snow and sub zero temperature, I know that you will relate to my “cabin fever”. On this Sunday morning, I tore out the advertisement for the Home & Patio Show which had a picture of tulips. Today I will make plans to visit “spring”. It might turn into a trip to the Show or maybe a lunch at Bachman’s. My need to see colorful living plants is strong and hopefully will not be denied. So for me today, an early escape from the season of winter into spring will be enough to revitalize my soul.
