Sunshine and Blessings

The sunshine brings me joy. There's something about the warmth and brightness of the sun that makes my skin glow, my body energized, and my heart content. Spring is known as a time of rejuvenation, and the start of new beginnings. If you know me at all, then you know how much I've dreaded this on and off snowy weather that we have had this winter. It was beautiful the first time, but it became very upsetting when it snowed once again in February. And although I would give anything for it to be summer, I am excited to see what changes and adventures come my way this spring.

As winter comes to a final close, and as spring begins, it's time to look back and reflect on the blessings that this winter season brought. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, it could be a victory one, a goal achieved, a lesson learned, a dramatic lifestyle changed, something new gained, something lost, a commitment made, a promise held, and a joyous moment that changed perspective. No matter how it came about, or what it is, blessings should be treasured.

So my dear readers, reflect, keep working hard in school and at your place of work, look forward to some time of rest, and let’s start planning for the many adventures we will all individually take in the season to come.

Spring break is only a few weeks away, and I can hardly wait. Although I will stay home most of the time, or that I am not going anywhere, let alone any big plans, I am excited to relax, catch up on some sleep, and hopefully enjoy some sunshine.

Happy spring, may your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots and lots of sunshine!

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
