Spring

I love spring. There is a newness in the air. It is a time for new beginnings.

Today I almost ran over two ducklings trying to cross the road. They were taking their time - oblivious to fact that they were in danger.

Yesterday as the sun was setting, I just had to get out of my car to take some pictures of the river. Something about spring does that to you. It makes you want to go outside and experience the newness.

Tulips bloom in the spring. I LOVE tulips. They just scream happy to me.

Happy. I love the feeling of being happy. The newness in creation invokes happiness.

Spring brings the feeling of anticipation - the good kind of anticipation. Not the kind as if you are dreading what is about to happen.

My life is about to change again. While I dislike change, it is a good thing. I am one month away from returning to China. One month from returning to a place that has become dear to my heart.

There is much to do be done in the month ahead. I am so thankful that I get to enjoy spring as I am saying good-byes and preparing to return.
