LIVE...And, Let-'GROW'!

     Springtime...Easter Season...What do they have in common? Each, represent an opportunity for 'new-beginnings'. With Spring, and, it's, wondrous, reintroduction to warm-weather, comes the 'earth's 'reawakening', and, all that, this entails...new flora...new fauna...new-life! If one is a believer in Christ, and, in His Resurrection, the 'Reason behind THIS Season', what could be MORE significant, insofar as New-Opportunity, is concerned, such, the basis for the belief in Eternal-Life. WE, also, have opportunities, each and every day, to start-anew...to 'refresh' ourselves, with regard to how we accept, believe, control, and, delegate the 'learning and the lessons', that, we take away from our life-experience(s). With, each, moment, in which we 'live and breathe', there is the occasion for us to begin afresh, to 'start-over'; Therein, lies one of THE, most, remarkable, aspects of our lives, here. We do not need to remain 'stuck in a rut', or, become, complacent in our 'heads and hearts' for, WE have the 'power', within ourselves, to make changes...to grow 'new-roots', which, can, fix us to our new, 'dedication and direction', on the 'road' toward a happier, more, fulfilling, existence. When one looks at Mother-Nature, taking note of the 'death', which, occurs, every Winter...flowers wilting and waning away...tree-leaves, dead and falling, things, oft times, can appear 'dismal'; But, then comes Spring...and, new-life appears, EVERY year...remarkable! For me, this observance holds within it a 'message' for all of us; That, no matter how bleak, dark and, hopeless, life may, seem, at times, it is, as is everything, only, temporary, in it's nature, and, we, who are made in His Likeness, the MOST, capable of understanding this, reality, and, making THE, most, intelligent-choices, with respect to our, lives. All other manner of God's Creation responds to life intrinsically, they 'know', no other way, and, they do NOT 'over-think' their 'Being'. We, humans, can, often 'be our own worst-enemies', because we think too much...to long and too hard, about what it is we NEED to be happy. Being 'happy' is a choice...it comes from our deciding to BE, just that. It takes a bit of effort, in the sense, that, we must be honest with ourselves, and, through this, truthfulness, rectify and remedy ANY of the 'issues', which, may stand in our way; Yet, it IS possible. So...if you are 'in the market' for a new-attitude, outlook, or, station, wait no longer. Today IS the day, to BEGIN, again. Just Sayin'...
