Happy Easter

"Easter spells out beauty,
the rare beauty of new life"
-S.D.Gordon  

Wishing you a Happy and Blessed Easter.  

Winter seems to of finally taken a back seat to spring.

Although we still have pockets of snow remaining, 

spring is felt and most welcomed.  

Along with the change of seasons, 

brings a change of Hearth for my fireplace.  

I love creating new vignettes for my mantel space.  

Here are a few spring pics of my Easter Mantel. 

 

Welcome Spring

“The festival of the spring equinox speaks of freshness and youth, 
of excitement and endless possibilities. 
Nature begins to quicken and early flowers open to the warmth 
of the strengthening sun, bringing the colours of lemon and yellow 
into our lives on the wings of a March wind.”
― Carole Carton 

As we say farewell to the long, ragged winter, anticipation of spring is felt deep within our spirit. This renewed spark is the essence of our connection to the Earth. After our deep hibernation under the cloak of winter's abundance, spring is a most welcoming season.

 

During winter's embrace we shield ourselves

from the cold landscape.
We quietly hunker down to rejuvenate ourselves in

anticipation of future blossoms.

This deep freeze partially hides us from one and other.

Spring’s arrival beckons us to awaken!
As the days become brighter, our souls yearn to reconnect.
As the days grow longer,

so do our walks and chats with neighbours.
At Spring's first blush, we eagerly emerge from winter's hold,
realizing our good fortune of living in such a diverse and
miraculous world, which we have the honour of calling home.

Expectations

Boy isn’t that the truth? ♥*´`*•.✫
At least it has been for me lately. 

As I look back over life, I realize I have been so very guilty of this…expecting too much from others. 

It wasn’t until recently I realized it was because I would be willing to do that much for them. 

 I wear my heart on my sleeve, but not everyone is as emotionally available as I am, and that’s ok. 

Everyone has got a story. I had to learn to adjust my level of expectation for others. 

I still struggle with it. It is something I will continue to work on.

What does this mean to you? ♥*´`*•.✫
What are you willing to do? Where do you draw the line? 

 What do you expect from family? How many levels of “friendship” do you have? 

 Have you ever thought about it? 

 It might be something to consider, I know I have.
