Ponderings…Springtime thoughts

This morning I awoke to the sound of birds singing outside my bedroom window, almost in tune with my alarm. As I stretched and opened my eyes to turn off the timer, I looked outside and noticed that the sun was already rising. This caused just the slightest of double-takes over to my phone to confirm the time – generally the sun is not yet shining when I get up for work in the morning, so for a second I worried that I had overslept a little and would be late! Once I confirmed that I was, in fact, right on schedule, I found myself smiling. Spring is coming, and the time shift is already upon us. This is one of the most comforting times of the year, as the days slowly get longer and warmer.
