Spring Has Sprung! Let's Adventure!

Spring Has Sprung! Let's Adventure!

"Spring is nature’s way of saying, ‘Let’s Party!" quipped Robin Williams. I love Spring because the days get longer, trees burst with leaves and flowers, and the streets fill with people wearing smiles. There’s a contagious energy in the air that feels like a fresh start, urging me to rekindle my dreams and set new goals.

Welcoming The Season Of Renewal:

“You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming,” remarked Pablo Neruda. Spring shows up like clockwork, bringing with it a sense of rejuvenation and vitality. The longer days and extra sunshine invigorate not just our bodies but also our spirits, infusing us with renewed energy and optimism. It's a time to shake off the winter blues and embrace the possibilities of the changing season.

Yellow Daffodils: A Beacon Of Hope

“Where flowers bloom so does hope.’’ – Lady Bird Johnson.

One of the first flowers to spring out of the earth in Spring is Golden Yellow Daffodils. As William Wordsworth describes, they stretch in never-ending lines tossing their heads in sprightly dance. It fills your heart with pleasure and makes you dance with it.

The vibrant yellow colour represents sunshine, joy, and warmth, evoking feelings of happiness and energy. It can make a person creative and happy. ?

It’s no wonder the smileys and emoticons ??are yellow because they help our brain release serotonin which is a mood enhancer. It improves our focus and concentration working on the left side of our brain.


So, if you want to get invigorated with energy and fill yourself with enthusiasm, look out for yellow daffodils or infuse your surroundings and desk with yellow colour.

I always associate spring with yellow daffodils because my mum loves them and is a big fan of William Wordsworth's poem about them. Their bright blooms bring back memories of her smile and the joy she finds in the simple pleasures of life. As I watch them sway in the breeze, I'm reminded of the resilience of nature and the hope that springs eternal with each new season.

Easter Eggs and New Beginnings: Embracing Fresh Starts

“Easter is meant to be a symbol of hope, renewal, and new life.” – Janine di Giovanni.

Just as spring brings forth new life, Easter eggs symbolize the potential for fresh beginnings. They represent the idea that new opportunities can hatch and flourish from something seemingly ordinary.

Easter is a Christian religious festival, however, eggs symbolise new life and have been associated with Pagan traditions of Spring. Easter eggs are said to represent the resurrection of Jesus from the tomb.


The tradition of decorating Easter eggs dates back centuries, signifying the end of Lent fasting and the arrival of a season of abundance. It's a reminder that even in times of scarcity, there's always the promise of renewal and growth.

As we celebrate Easter and the arrival of spring, let's embrace the symbolism of Easter eggs as a catalyst for change. It is an ideal time to embrace new challenges and cultivate a spirit of growth and transformation. Just as the egg cracks open to reveal new life, let's open ourselves up to the endless possibilities that come with embracing fresh starts.

Bunny Tales: Finding Joy and Happiness in the Simple Things:

“Even the smallest one can change the world.” – Peter Rabbit, Beatrix Potter.

While there is no obvious Biblical reference to the Easter Bunny, the evidence dates back to the 17th century, when the German immigrants to America introduced the Osterhase – a rabbit that brought gifts to children at Easter time.

There are understandable connections between spring and the rabbits. April showers not only bring spring flowers but baby rabbits as well. Rabbits are seen as a symbol of fertility and they give birth to the baby rabbits when the weather starts to warm up.


Bunnies have long been associated with joy and happiness, their adorable antics bringing smiles to the faces of young and old alike. Whether they're hopping through fields or nibbling on fresh greens, there's something inherently delightful about these furry creatures. Just watching a bunny at play can lift your spirits and remind you of the simple joys in life.

In a world filled with hustle and bustle, it's easy to get exhausted. It leads us to overlook the small moments of happiness that surround us. But, much like encountering a wild Pikachu in Pokémon Go, finding joy in the simple pleasures can be incredibly rewarding. Whether it's savouring a cup of coffee in the morning sun, taking a leisurely stroll through the park, or spending time with loved ones, these little moments can add up to a lifetime of happiness.

What little things bring happiness in your world?

Conclusion:

Spring is more than just a change in the weather; it's a reminder that no matter how dark the winter may have been, there's always hope for brighter days ahead. As we shake off the last remnants of winter's chill, we're presented with the opportunity for personal growth and change.

What inspirations are you going to draw from Spring?

What dreams will you pursue with courage and hope?

What new habits will you cultivate?

How will you embrace the present and relish life's simple joys?

"A flower blossoms for its own joy." – Oscar Wilde.

So, lead a life of your own choosing. Let Spring's renewal inspire you to embrace change, pursue your dreams, and find joy in every moment.
