The spring equinox is just around the corner. Spring will begin Mar. 20 and end June. 20, lasting three months.

During the 14th century, the period known as “Lent” started to be recognized as “springing time”, since this seemed to be when various greenery, such as plants, trees, and shrubs, began springing back up from the ground.

Many may view spring as a fresh start and a way to blossom into your true self. In the winter, each day has only seven hours of sunshine, but during spring, there are twelve hours. Transitioning from gloomy days to bright days often benefits everyone positively.

Sunlight helps boost a chemical in the brain known as serotonin, which can give you more energy and help you stay calm, positive, and focused.

All winter, we hope for summer; all spring, we hope for fall, and vice versa. It is important to cherish each season because you will likely miss it when it is gone.

In conclusion, with the weather changing, you too can change. If you have failed in your New Year’s resolutions, it is not too late. Use the transition to spring as a way to transition your habits. Let your life bloom like spring.
