I have a few crocuses planted in our front yard. Each year I look eagerly to see if, just if they have come up yet. They are a sign of spring hope. After the long often gloomy winters we have here in West Michigan they are eagerly awaited.
In 2023 on the 7th of March I was thrilled to see a tiny little purple ray of spring hope shining in my yard! She had popped out of the ground and made her debut. She was the only one who had been brave enough to poke her nose up out of the ground and bloom so early that year.
She was snowed upon more than once, iced upon and kept on coming back for more bloom time in March of 2023. She was not about to give up!
This year she has a partner who popped out to join her for their first spring appearance on March 12th. The snow had been piled high on top of them and just melted away a day or so before they bloomed.
Somedays when things have grown tough, I need a little reminder of the courage and strength of others who endure and keep on going and don’t give up.
It’s easy to get discouraged and even lose hope when things aren’t working out as fast or in the way as we hoped or want it to be. However, it’s important to learn how to ride the waves, turn the corners, hike up the mountain a bit further, and keep blooming in the face of adversity.
Fortunately, we don’t have to look very hard to find some spring hope whether it be a situation Mother Nature provides or a person we know of who like the ‘Energizer Bunny’ keeps on keeping on no matter what.
We can with intention openly take notice of the courage and strength on display in the world around us and allow this inspirational energy to flow into our hearts!
Take a long look at the people in your circle of the world. Notice who has weathered through hardships and the qualities they possess that helped them do so. Let them bring some spring hope into your heart.
Look at the worlds of Mother Nature around you. Notice the amazing feats of the animal, plant, insect, geographical worlds in your neighborhood. Soak it all in and let Mother Nature inspire your heart.
Do reach out for professional help. Sometimes therapy is what helps us find hope when life feels utterly dark and dreary.
Through Grief Therapy, Anxiety Therapy, Depression Therapy, PTSD Treatment or Substance Abuse Treatment spring hope is possible to find.
