Did you know that spring officially starts this week?! Wednesday is the magical day, and I’m hoping the weather follows suit.
Spring is my favorite time of year for many reasons. There’s more sunshine, yet it’s still refreshingly brisk outside. The days are longer, and color is starting to pop up everywhere you look. Pure bliss.
As we embark on this week and the start of the new season, I wanted to share a little quote that I found inspiring.
“Don’t wait for someone to bring you flowers. Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul.” (I’m not sure who originally said this, because I’ve found at least three alleged sources.)
As great as it is when someone brings you flowers (or happiness in some other form), it isn’t guaranteed or sustainable. Take charge and plant your own garden. Grow what feeds you soul. Take pride in knowing you’ve created something beautiful. Being in control of our own happiness tends to be much more rewarding anyways.
And on a more literal note, if spring doesn’t give you flowers yet because it’s still a bit wintery, go buy a bouquet to brighten up your day. ๐
