“Resilience”
Welcome to March. March has had beautiful warm days to then cold, windy snowy days…and back again. It’s very typical weather for the month of March in Rhode Island and the whole New England area. Plants are starting to break through the ground. I’ve seen some Crocuses come up. They are the first flowers to come up between the end of winter and the beginning of Spring. They come up during a time when the weather can be cold and snowy one day, then warm and sunny the next . The Crocuses adapt by staying closed up when it’s cold and windy. When the sun comes out and warms up a day, the Crocuses then open up their pedals to soak in the sun’s nourishment. Though they only bloom for a short time, they show their beauty and resilience in life. For living things to survive and thrive, they must be adaptive and resilient. It’s part of life. Sometimes we have winters in our lives, where we must step up and persevere through whatever we’re facing. There are spring and summer’s in our lives too. Whether it’s seeing a situation through, a project or goal, the spring/summer in our lives is when we can celebrate our successes and achievements. Those warm, sunny days can make us feel fully alive and joyous. Where ever we are in our life, we must rise up and meet the season. We can do it. Warmly, LG
