Each season holds its special place in my heart. Autumn; I could say that this one is my favorite but I believe the other contenders would be offended. Crisp cool air and a proverbial feast of color warms my heart. Winter takes its toll on the world with harsh whipping winds weathering the hearts and hands of victims. To much surprise, the cold and dreary pulls me inside to be a kid again and enjoy a cup of hot coco by the crackling fireplace. Winter enveloped Georgia with a harsh five day snow storm that shut down the city of Atlanta. Many took up a grudge against the ominous white; others embraced the blessing of time spent with family and friends. Spring resurrects hope. Dreams buried under a blanket of snow soon sprout up from the soil. A breath of fresh air brings a new beginning. The breeze finishes its dance in the trees as summer's heat rolls in from the South. A limitless season of fun could be a description. A trip to the beach or just to the park to enjoy the day and some ice cold lemonade.
Many prefer one season to another. Negatives of one season overcome the good that is hidden with each month. Satisfaction seldom shows its face. Seasons are not only in the changing of leaves on a tree but in every part of our lives. Favoring of one over another is common. Hearts and minds fight to keep fond memories flowing through us. Hard times come. The joy in that statement is that they also say "so long." By no means should these chapters of life be re-read, for their words can often sting as an open wound. But just as a flower shows its radiant color after a bitter winter, a weighted heart can be made light.
"Love will not break your heart but dismiss you fears"
Currently Listening: "After the Storm" by Mumford & Sons
