Springing Forward

Written By Jennifer Rogers

It's that time of year. Daylight savings time is upon us, and I, for one, am excited! Not the losing an hour of sleep part, but all the other thoughts and feelings that this time of year conjures up for me:

  • Longer days

  • Warmer weather on the way

  • Fewer days available for snow (I'm a beach girl)

  • Beautiful spring flowers

  • Open windows

  • Getting outside

Daylight savings time also reminds me that Spring will be here before you know it - a beacon of growth and new life. Just like the daffodil bulbs that have been lying dormant underground in the cold all winter, I am starting to slowly emerge and stretch into the warmth of the sun. For me, this means that the goals and plans for the year that I planted in January have taken root and are beginning to flourish.

What is springing forward in your life?

What seeds have you planted or are you about to plant that will be sprouting soon?
