SPRING RENEWAL

On Friday morning, March 20th, we experienced the first day of spring. How has this renewal been for you so far? We are experiencing a fresh start, with more snow than in recent years.

Spring is a time to explore personal growth, mental renewal, and physical awareness. In your renewal, get rid of unhealthy habits, continue your New Year’s resolution goals, and make other inspiring changes to your life. As we view the tree buds, colorful pastel blossoms on trees, and the variety of spring blossoming flowers, enjoy!

There are things we can embrace now as we look forward to spending more time outside in the summer. It is not too late to start spring cleaning. Open the windows to get refreshing air. 

Please go through the closets to repair, dispose of, and give away clothing. See what clothing you are keeping for the summer, or what new pieces you need to pair with or upgrade.

Take time to sit outside to read, enjoy a beverage, and listen to music while feeling the warmth of the sun. The ability to meditate or pray will allow you to concentrate on eliminating bad mental issues and improve your mental health goals. 

Please talk to your doctor first; however, this is a good time to get physical. Even if you need to start by walking a half-block out and back, it is a start. Plan, start, or finish something that interests you: a project, a new skill, or saving up for a trip you're interested in. 

Always, lifelong learning!
