Week Full Of Weekends…

So, today is Good Friday. It’s a time when spring should have definitely ‘sprung’ and we start to long for the longer evenings and warmer weather. The reality this year is a little different. Having spent over 3hrs to drive to the office in Llantrisant in South Wales on Wednesday, the torrential rain, sleet and bitter wind was indicative of anything but springtime. Even last night sat at home it was cold and rainy.

Spring has yet to grace us with its presence.

Or has it?

The truth is, if you go for a walk outside you will see the tell tale signs of spring. The daffodils, the crocus’s, the snow drops and even the tulips. All bringing with them a sense of splendour and of new hope.

I love to see the spring flowers. It’s like nature’s promise that the dark days are passing once more into the abyss of the yesteryear. I guess the best way to look at this is, if you only ever look behind yourself you are only ever going to see shadows, but why linger in shadows when you can walk free of them?

You cannot just look forward to what you want, if you cannot take time out to focus on the present?

The present ain’t a bad place to be – beautiful, brighter than you credit it for and most important of all, it’s full of character, vibrancy and conversations yet to be had. Treat each morning like spring. Know that there is beauty emerging all around you, and take the time to appreciate what you see. Especially when you look in the mirror.

Let’s change it up a bit; today is Good Happy Damn Friday.

Live your life like a week full of weekends…
