The joys of spring

Yesterday's 365 was a good reminder for me to remember the joy that can be found in the "little things." It also had me scrolling through my iPod to listen to 2 songs; "No Regrets" by Forest Sun and "The Little Things" by Carlos Bertonatti, as I was driving down I-70 enjoying the warm weather with the window rolled down. With the arrival of spring, it's fun to see nature budding into new life! I love the snow and the moisture it brings to allow the emergence of flowers from bulbs, the buds on trees turning into leaves, and the brown grasses becoming green again. Another simple pleasure of spring time is the return of flip flops. It's such a nice freedom of the feet after being crammed into ski boots all winter! And then there's spring break, which allows me to catch up with friends and family that I haven't seen in awhile. It was great to see Charry while she was out here, and to hear her beautiful giggle again! Having time to go down to my parents has been great too, while my brother and his family are here. It's amazing how quickly my niece and nephew are growing up and it's a lot of fun to hear all the stories and enjoy all the laughter! With seeing everyone, it reminds me of a quote I saw in the Vail Daily when I first moved to town:

"Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart." Eleanor Roosevelt

Wishing you all the best,
