Why Spring is Becoming My Favorite Time of Year
After a rather rainy and gloomy winter in Atlanta, I was more than happy to see the warmth and sun of Spring. I mean who wouldn’t? But Spring seems to be hitting a little differently this year and it’s not because of the Pandemic. It’s because I’m beginning to really enjoy the feeling of newness that it brings to the atmosphere. It’s like I get a dose of energy and euphoria when Spring comes along. And I think I like it. The added bonus is that my birthday is right in the middle of it. Even with all of this, Spring always held that second-place status to Fall for me until now. I think I’m starting to change my mind.

The trees filling with leaves again and the flowers blooming creates a mood like no other. The energy just makes you feel grateful and slightly playful. Life seems a lot less serious and uptight. Spring makes the impossible seem possible and it helps me to dream again. When we first begin to social distance I was a little annoyed that when it finally warmed up I had to be stuck inside. But I realize being stuck inside in the winter with that awful weather would have been super depressing. Having to be sheltered in the Spring helps me to have something to look forward too. It keeps my spirit bright, even when the world seems crazy. Looking outside to full green trees and flowers blooming keeps my attitude positive. No matter how tough you are, winters are not easy to get through. Especially in places where the temperature drops significantly. Winter seems to turn everything black & white and Spring brings life back to color. Spring reminds us that there is joy on the other side of hardship. It reminds us that there is light at the end of the tunnel. And I like to be reminded of the inevitable joy that comes with life. We typically fixate on the lows but the highs help us to be grateful, they help us to live again. I recently wrote a blog post titled add a little Spring. And yet I still had yet to make the connection of the beauty that this season brings. Spring to me is one big celebration of life, that after a harsh winter, life begins again.
And don’t get me wrong I love a good boot, but I am a warm weather girl to the core of me. Being able to wear my toes out in a cute sandal is everything! I am loving this year’s trends as well. The square-toed and strappy sandal, the flowery dresses, the monotone striking pinks, blues and yellows are giving me life! It will make it all the better to go outside when we can. I won’t lie online shopping has happened in the quarantine and I can hardly wait to bring these looks to life. So loves I guess my mind has been changed. Spring has sprinkled her magic and I am a believer.
With Love,
Cree
