As we reach the tail end of February, the faint whispers of spring start to echo around us. Today brought rays of sunshine, tricking me into believing it was warmer than reality. The persistent winter winds were quick to correct me, reminding me of their ruling reign. Stepping out without a hat and gloves turned into a regretful decision as winter asserted its dominance.
I eagerly anticipate the arrival of spring with its warmth and sunshine, ready to embrace it wholeheartedly. However, a tinge of sorrow accompanies my farewell to the winter season, its chilling allure, and the tranquillity it brings. Ever since I battled with exhaustion depression, I’ve found myself increasingly enchanted by winter’s serene charm, while the summer season has somewhat lost its former allure.
Spring and summer are characterized by constant movement and heightened pace, whereas winter provides a peaceful respite, easing the weight of expectations. Shaking off the winter lethargy and transitioning into an active routine requires time, a gradual process. It’s the transition spring affords us, a gentle nudge to reset and rekindle our energy. The oscillation between sunny days filled with activities and hailstorm days perfect for a hot chocolate and a comforting movie is spring’s magic.
Living in sync with the seasons is my ultimate aspiration – aligning my activities and rhythm with the ebb and flow of nature. As we welcome this year, it seems we’re inching closer to this dream.
Stay well, cherish the final week of winter, and welcome the rejuvenating spring with open arms!
