I'm really grateful that February is winding down. I LOVE the spring!
Something about the new life all around me - it just makes me happy. It's an annual reminder that "new life" is essential to growth. Every day brings something new which leads to growth. Whether its being a blessing to someone else or being reminded that your job is to do just that - being. present. in. your. job. It stretches us to be better at what we are becoming. What we are to be.
In everything we do, in every conversation we have - its growth.... (if you let it of coarse!)
I noticed this week that there are buds on the trees, the daffodils are blooming, and in the wee hours of the morning - the birds are chirping. This morning the sky was a bright PINK - it was the most beautiful sunrise I've seen in a while... I couldn't help but think about my grandma. She loved the spring so much.
In her memory today, I went and bought myself a bouquet of colorful flowers and have them on my desk at work.
This time of year I'm reminded of just how much I miss her. But since she's been gone, I've grown. And with every new spring and challenging conversation, situation, or story - I grow.
Because I know she would want me to embrace this growth - even when it hurts - I know she would be proud of the woman that I am becoming.
Today, I'm grateful for all the growth that she was and IS a part of in my life.
