A change of seasons gives us time to pause

With snow on the ground and the holidays now behind us,  I look forward to a new season.  Even as we enjoy the still of winter, we know that soon we will see the signs of spring.  Every season signifies a time of new beginnings.  

And we need to remember that like trees, each of us has our own time table for change.  We all have a different time for respite and a  time of active and energetic growth.  There is an ebb and flow.  Let's embrace today for the freshness it brings... opportunities for new growth.
