Blades of dewy, green grass peek shyly beneath fallen leaves. Finally, they are ready to show themselves again, no longer hiding from a season draining them of color. Leaves begrudgingly leave the main stage making way for the grass to shine fully under the sun’s rays.
The birds chirp a melodic whistle and ladybugs munch at the growing grass while nature reawakens. Spring has come. It has come to rebirth and replenish the many aspects of life. Some people even see spring as the beginning of a new year instead of new year’s. I mean it makes sense. This is the time of spring cleaning, ridding yourself of clutter that no longer serves you.
That can ridding yourself of mental clutter, physical clutter, whatever has been concealing your true self. This is also the perfect weather to get back accustomed to nature. As a southern girl, cold isn’t something I’m too fond of. So, at the smallest peak of sun and the slightest feeling of warmth, I’m ready to return to my connection with nature.
Ways to connect or reconnect with nature is simply to walk around in it. No electronics, no distractions, just vibes and maybe bug spray. You could also picnic, which is one of my favorite things to do in the spring and summer months. Its just something so relaxing about laying down with your face towards the sky simply basking in the sun and admiring the little things that the world can offer.
A simple breeze to cool you down after wandering. A trickle of rain down your forehead as you leave a hot room or long walk. The smell of freshly cut grass that may lead to allergies, but who cares, right?
Don’t let the feeling of rebirth pass you this spring. The weather has been perfect and the time has been fruitful and plenty to enjoy every second of this spring weather before the Mississippi summer heat completely overtakes us until the end of October.
