13 Reasons Why I Love Spring!

Spring is on the way! Tiny green buds are appearing on our mulberry tree in our backyard, the herbs are sprouting, the days are warming up! Spring is the most beautiful time of year in my opinion. When better to take stock and make fresh starts and new decisions around old beliefs? What better time to draw a line in the sand and say "This starts now!" 

A time when everything new comes to remind us that things always pass. Bad things, good things, all things pass. 

Spring is a place where you can begin anew once more, putting all your learnings into play. 


I love spring, here are 13 more reasons why: (and these will last through October 2013!)

1. It is renewal in action…if you want to start anew, this is the perfect time, perfect for clearing away clutter, putting wintery stuff away and getting all your spring clothes out, opening the windows and creating a fresh space for yourself
2. Spring is colourful and full of flowers 
3.  Spring makes baby animals appear!
4. Spring fever happens! It’s a thing. Your body may experience physiological changes because of changes to your diet and temperature change.  
5. Ella Fitzgerald sang about Spring Fever in 1936, play it here: I got the Spring Fever Blues
6. It’s my birthday in Spring!
7.  Mint is THE colour this Spring, have a look here
8.  Perfect for creating your Christmas wish list, getting your goals in place for the end of year. Use the momentum of Spring to refresh you and inspire you.
9. It's wedding season!
10. You can dance in the rain! (and wear cool gumboots)
11. The mornings are warm - when you walk you don't freeze!
12. Grapefruit, lemon and orange are in season! Citrus city! Thanks to Taste.com, you could make this delicious recipe for lemon gelato
13. Jonquils and forget-me-nots are also in season in Spring- pretty.

Make your own Spring time list, think about specific things that happen, or that you can do to celebrate this beautiful season and bring a little of this season into your world, wherever you may be.
