Heartwings Love Notes 929 - The Beauty of Springtime

Heartwings says, "The loveliness of spring lifts hearts and spirits."

Outside my bedroom is a maple tree. Maple tree blossoms dangle from the tree's branches and I watch them every day as they grow. I enjoy observing the tree all year round, but especially in the spring when it goes through so much activity. When the sun shines, the little green blossoms make a filigree design that graces the no--longer bare branches. When I go outside, gazing up I see how the trees in the little wood beside our building paint their leaf buds against the blue spring sky. So inspiring!

Though our usual destinations—supermarket, P.O., library, and so forth are not available now, we do need to run the car. We found this out the hard way when we wanted to drive it, and it wouldn't start. According to our mechanic, letting the car sit and run wasn't giving the battery enough "juice" to start up after days of idleness in the parking lot. Somehow time had gone by without our notice, and since we weren't going anywhere, we didn't think of running the car.

However, this has turned out to be the perfect month to take the car out for some exercise. There are trees everywhere with flowers radiating beauty even when the sun isn't shining. The yards and streets of our town are filled with blossoming branches. The duty of driving around to exercise the car has become a joyful experience. The lovely gardens in front of people's houses, as well as our public buildings are another treat to see. I must be extra mindful not to get distracted when I'm driving.

While it is true that I would have enjoyed the trees and gardens regardless, the fact that they are my reason for going out greatly enhances my appreciation of them. Recently, my heart rejoiced to see another maple tree. the tiny fan of brand-new leaves was just emerging beneath the small green flowers. The leaves shone with their newness, reaching for the sunlight like the hands of a little baby. Nature is such a wonderful comforter in these times of stress.

As spring advances. may you be aware of the beauty around you and be thankful.
