Today is International Day of Happiness. Who knew this? I have been on the planet for eighty-four years and have never heard of this day. I wonder why.
Today is also the first day of Spring; another reason to be happy. Who doesn’t love to be happy? Let’s take advantage of this timely duo and have a Happy Saturday.
Today is the last day of February! It brings a smile to my face and joy to my heart. Spring is on the way! Even the trees of the fields will soon clap their hands as Isaiah tells us. Enjoy the day, whatever it holds for you, and be sure to clap your hands as you envision Spring in the air and Covid-19 out of it. Happy Sunday.
“You will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands. . ” Isaiah 55:12 NIV
The leaves are turning yellow,
the grass with stunted growing,
is changing with the seasons,
no longer needing mowing.
Fall is falling into place
awaiting winter’s cold,
spring and summer…come and gone
like winter’s transient snow.
And life goes on…
or sometimes doesn’t;
does it really matter what was…
or what wasn’t?
What matters most is that we know
how much to love, how deep to grow;
just a few of many reasons
to appreciate life’s changing seasons.
If you are in the spring of life
or summer’s slowing pace
be prepared for autumn
to usher winter’s grace.
Though leaves are turning yellow,
And grass is withering,
summer, fall and winter await the birth of spring.

It’s the first day of Spring and I’m feeling frisky. Here’s a bit of nonsense to prove it:
Spring has sprung,
Fall has fell,
Winter’s gone
And it’s just as well!
So there!
When the meadowlark sings in the meadow,
when the woodpecker pecks at its tree,
when the red breasted robin lays her blue eggs…
it means
Spring Is Coming!!!
(I’m beginning to feel better after a brief illness…can you tell?)
