Spring has
sprung, well and truly, making my colour of the moment the lush Maximum Green. Maximum
Green! Can you get any richer a green?
Spring means traditional
celebrations of new growth, the build up of crops, flowers, bird song and the
lighter, brighter pathway to summer. Spring is for awakenings and change.
Spring means
spring cleaning, time to spruce up the home, and time to spruce up your life. Spring
is for new starts, not those flippant, desperate ones you strive for in winter
at the beginning of the new year but the true new starts of spring, of lighter
mornings, warmer days and the dawning of hope and happiness.
Spring means
getting outside, shaking off those lazy winter blues and breathing the air.
Breathe it all in!
I have spent the
last weeks walking in the countryside, getting spring into my lungs and a
spring back into my step. As the miles fall beneath my feet I feel the
possibilities of life and future creeping back to hug me in a grassy, mossy,
ferny blanket. The reassurance of spring.
So for today I consider
myself fully immersed and committed to all that spring brings. When in doubt, breathe
in the Maximum Green and indulge in Spring 2017’s Crayola Colour Mood.
Maximum Green!
Elloise Hopkins.
