Moving toward spring!

A few weeks ago the ground hog told us we would have an early spring.  Hummm...2 feet of snow?   Perhaps he is right. Whether short or long until spring the upcoming weeks are a great time to take an honest look at ourselves.  It is a time to ask how we would like others to see us. What kind of attributes we would like others to see in us.  If you believe in God or higher power, maybe there are attributes there that you would like to emulate.  I have been using the periodical "Alive Now" as my daily devotional. {www.alivenow.org} Last week, it was suggested that I draw an outline of my body and draw rays to words that described the attributes I would like others to see in me.  I found this so helpful. The next step would be to look at our list and look for our growing edges....what attributes need some tweeking?  A suggestion would be to sit with your picture and thoughtfully meditate or breath or pray.  Those attributes that shine and those that need some work will come to light.  Next step would be to look toward that growth in your daily life. Again, meditation, breathing and prayer will help. The idea is to see some new fresh shoots in your growing edges when spring finally comes bringing new growth in your gardens.
