"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
John F. Kennedy
Responding to my email from yesterday, a friend reminded me that Springtime is a season for rebirth.
I say he is actually making my argument for me.
Re- Birth, or for that matter,any birth comes with labor.
Labor ,as in work as in raking,mowing,cleaning,trimming etc etc.
'Nuff said about that!
All kidding aside, I understand the excitement everyone around me feels as the new season approaches.
I feel that way with each season as they all bring their own special gifts.
I think my resistance towards the joy that has been bombarding me regarding Spring's arrival is the fact that those around me act as if the season itself is the driving factor in happiness not their own approach to life.
No one, no thing, no time can make me happy.
Over and over, day by day, I work with the knowledge that happiness is a choice, a choice that is mine and mine alone to make.
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night....." will keep me from being happy!
My life, my choice!.
No matter what the season!
