First Signs of Spring
What you concentrate on, that’s what you see. Did you notice that? If you think you will have a great day, usually good things happen. Opposite is true, too. If you get a new car, you start noticing the same cars on the street. Even when you think of someone, they may call, come or write you unexpectedly. Things work in wonderous ways. As Ralph Waldo Emerson put it, “We become what we think about all day long.”
Despite very cold weather we are having, and despite Groundhog predictions, I know spring is here already. Sure enough, I see signs everywhere: flocks of robins, starlings, and martins, and new shoots on the trees. Today I even saw some bees buzzing around new blossoms. I know we are in Florida, but we are having record low temperatures, lasting for a long time. In 20 years in Florida, that’s the coldest winter we ever seen. By looking at the whole picture, it sure feels like there is still winter. But if you are close to nature, you start to notice specific details missed by almost everyone. (Sometimes it is good to be different 
).
