Spring is in the Air!

Spring is truly in the Air… yesterday I went for a short walk and breathed in the wonderful Sun shining day.. Its by noticing the small things in life that can fill our day with delight, as we experience the wonder of living.. Like seeing the new born lambs sprawled out sunbathing next to their Mothers and watching their antics as they jumped and leaped up and down, just for the shear joy of it..

It got me thinking to when was the last time we jumped up and down lol..and woke up excited at the prospects of a new day.. And I got thinking of when my children were small and how they would bounce up and down on their beds and would race around their day full of laughter and joy.. And I was reminded of a saying here of ‘Embracing the Child within’. Many of us have lost that child within feeling, as we have got caught within this materialistic world of keeping up with the Jones and Worry over paying Bills, and making ends meet..

But I think once we take that time out to look around and see the beauty in all things, a new kind of Joy fills our spirits.. One that says “isn’t it good to be alive”… For we see all too often those who are so less fortunate than ourselves around our world and yet we still moan about our lot. And I often think there but for the grace of God go I… For we could all find ourselves one day much less well off than we are today..

So Yesterday I took every small detail in, from the wild flowers to blossoms on the trees the butterflies too were in abundance… I saw many Orange Tips and Speckled Wood Butterflies, and the bird song seemed to echo vibrantly all the more through my woodland walk.

If we bring just a few moments of awareness into our lives just for a few moments each day, we will truly begin to see how very blessed we are..

I wondered later as I went into a Town full of people who never seemed to smile, and who looked as if all the weight of the world was upon their shoulders if they ever really ‘Look’ and see those wonderful joys of spring and nature.

Taking in the small Joys of the day helps us to expand that feeling of being connected with the world.. If we allow the Joys of Spring in our steps we will find that in these small delights of just looking into a flower, watching Nature will bring us to a deeper level of appreciation for everything the Universe has given us in our lives. And they are truly Miraculous ..

HAPPY EASTER TO YOU ALL!…

A Bird in the Hand.

Spring this week is well and truly in the air. The Sun at last is shining and Nature is waking up to the warmth of it..

Bee’s are buzzing, and Birds are singing merrily away.. My sister even saw a couple of Butterflies in her garden, wow are they out early.. and the blossoms are out and the green shoots are budding, the daffodils are showing us their proud heads, and the pansies are smiling their beautiful colours.

The other morning I was stood baking, looking out my kitchen window to see the sparrows busily picking up the dried vegetation of dried small grasses and thin twigs ready for nest building. One bird is busy building a nest in a small evergreen bush in the garden.. And I’m hoping its high enough for the Cats not to have spied it.. It was amazing to watch these beautiful little birds as they chewed their twigs into shapes they needed, chopping bits off the ends and bending them just so before they hoped into their nest to weave it into shape..

Spring Time has always been one of my favourite seasons as the Miracle of Life once again sets out to show us that even after the harshest of Winters, which for us in the UK this year was one of the coldest in decades, Life Springs back with such vibrancy and colour.

Last Summer as the young birds were flying there nests, One unfortunate little bird got blinded by the sun and flew into the window pane.. I went out after hearing an almighty thud to see it laying lifeless on the ground.. It was out cold.

I picked it up, and could still feel its little heart beating, so I cradled it in both palms for around 5 minutes and sent it some healing energy… It eventually came around and sat in my palm probably still stunned, and no doubt with a headache… I gently stroked it still giving it energy…

Thinking it would fly off from my open palm.. however it just sat there quite content and I held it in my open hand a further 5 minutes or so, before I walked over to a bush and gently coached it to hop onto a branch…

I stepped back and waited to see if it was ok… another 5minutes passed by before it flew off with a chirp…. and a cheap…

I had my mobile phone in my pocket at the time and I was able to take these pictures as I held it…

I just love Spring, and the Miracles in Life we see each and every Day. We may not all get to hold ‘A Bird in the Hand’… But we each of us hold that Miracle of Life within our own… So lets not waste it, let us embrace the Spring within our own lives, as each season passes us by so quickly and before we know it we have come through our own Seasons.. The Spring of our Youth, Summer of our Adults years and like me now in my Autumn, those glorious Golden Moments of Time…And it is often in these times, when life passes us by, when we are not looking, in the silence of Nature’s embrace that the Miracles of Change happens..

I am embracing this Spring knowing that I hold its Key within my own hands Worrying not, Like the Sparrows who worry not where there next meal is coming from, But they get up each day to Sing out their hearts giving praise for A New Day..

Wishing all my friends A beautiful Season of Spring!…
