Springing Forth

It is officially Spring. In some parts of the country, I would suspect that this declaration brings hope to those still looking at snow on the ground and temperatures below freezing. Here in sunny Southern California, it means lots of greenery and blooms!

I understand that today is also Nowruz; the Persian New Year. It is tradition that the precise event is celebrated at the moment the sun crosses the equator. I didn't take note of when that occurred, but am content to acknowledge the event and share in the appreciation of the renewal that Spring always brings.

It's easy to appreciate just how lucky we are when the sun is shining, plants are blooming, birds are chirping and I can get home on a Friday before dark.

Yep, life is good.
