With Easter holidays behind us now, we motor on towards the summer months full of all the joys and hopes of simple relaxation. Why spring provides us the intro, the preview of the summer ahead.
Being Irish of course we are accustomed to the 4 seasons of every year and quite often winter into spring can allow us four seasons in even one day.
St. PATRICKS DAY a distant memory now as many still belly ache from easter egg over load. What lies ahead now? It is always good to look forward to something no matter how small or big and summer can be the perfect time for all kinds of lounging around in the sun or seaside trips or even a festival or two.
Our past rolls away from us faster than we even realize, pause a moment and think, how you know you have thought about it. What did I do for March ? March madness perhaps can raise a memory or for all of us Irish well many would even forget our national holiday of St. Patricks day. So what lies ahead ?
Holidays for the kids from school, festival events, a new book now there is a thought.
Seriously though, even though the lawn is growing faster now and requires that little extra attention isn't it fun to be outdoors smelling the spring, feeling nature sprout and breathing life? Magically to say the least.
Should you be planning the vacation for the summer months then I of course wish that you are sure to include the reading event of your copy of TWO sons TOO many. I may find an event or two around some feativals to visit and say hi to like minded folks. Remembering and reliving the years gone by while stepping always forward to venture above and beyond the limits of the past. So yes it is bye bye to winter and bring on the summer months.
That is as far as we can extend ourselves if we wish to savour the now. The SPRING, life is breathing all around us, under our very noses and all we need do is some simple pauses here and there. Take 5 minutes from your busy life and just pause. Hard to do in thought better to just take action.
PAUSE. Enjoy the very moment in the middle of your day, breath in the spring energy and pause to the very second. We worry about the future and dwell in the past but we do not PAUSE for the now.
Try it once or twice and enjoy the SPRING in every time you can PAUSE.
