LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE

2-13-10...LET IT RUN IT'S COURSE

I looked out this morning to all the patches of snow still on the ground and saw something that gave me hope. Could it be I thought? Oh yes it sure could be and it is. There under a patch of melting snow is little green shoots peeping out of the ground. Daffodils and Jonquils are planted there and they are certainly making themselves known to the cold weather. "Hey I'm here you can go on now, It is my turn". Did you hear them say that? Yep I sure did. I can't help but think that if that delicate little green sprout can push it's way up through the hard frozen ground that I need to stop complaining about getting up out of my chair or bending down to pick up something from the floor.
Everything seems new and alive in the spring and I love it. I sure hope my old winter body will make the transition once again. Now you all know that I love the winter snow but my body doesn't like it any more and I guess I'm going to have to go along with that. After all I don't have a replacement so gotta get along with this one.
I have had many obstacles and let downs to deal with this winter but those little green sprigs making their way out of the frozen ground gave me a new outlook. It does each year but each year it seems more so too. Some how everything seems brighter and less overwhelming with the sunshine smiling down on you and the green's and pastels of Spring are there to brighten things up.
Sometimes I get too cocky and just go through every day like I am entitled to it. I need to watch that more because every time I get too sure of myself a tragedy, disappointment, or set back of some kind will come in my life and remind me how fast everything could be snatched away from me. In the twinkling of an eye.
Everything awakens in the spring with those crisp and fierce March winds before it finally settles down to the warm and gentle April showers. The showers bring forth all the beautiful flowers by giving them the water we all need to grow. . The trees are budding and the warmth has taken away the chill of winter. But now don't be too hard on winter because it has it's functions too. It keeps things dormant to give them the strength they need to come alive in all their glory once again. Besides if there was no winter we likely wouldn't enjoy Spring so much. If we didn't sometimes see adversities the good things wouldn't be so welcome and appreciated. That is the way of The seasons. Each one has it's place just as the seasons of our lives have theirs. Winter never lasts forever and spring will always come. Spring will soon return but old man winter still had control for a spell yet. Just let it run it's course Clydene, you can't hurry God. That's just the way of it. YEP!
