Spring blooms

The buds on the trees are out, these signal that leaves are blooming soon, and then flower buds will be out, which means in a couple of weeks I will be seeing fresh flowers and smell the scent of spring. The winter season has truly said bye for 2008..

I was walking on my way to work -

I usually walk with my head down checking on where I walk, I have poor eyesight so if I walk with my head up, more often than not, I would get dizzy and step into something that would either trip me off or injure me. I remember my very good friend Jop would always complain about how I walk with my head's down, so what I would usually do was to hold his belt and stay behind him when we walk together, that way I would be protected from the rush of people coming towards me.

- back to walking towards my office - my head was up, checking on the buds of the trees.. my first time to experience the transition from winter to spring. The last time I experienced spring, the plants have already bloomed, but now I can see them blooming slowly - and to me its just a wonderful experience. Its like seeing a new life coming out from the branches of the tree.

By my porch in my apartment, I can hear the ducks quaking already, they are playing outside the pond that is just outside my porch. I love hearing them, that is nature by my porch. Can't wait to jog outside, that would be super coz this time I will be seeing squirrels and rabbits jogging with me, they have long been hibernating!

Spring signifies new life, new beginning, and that is very much true for me and so I celebrate spring more than any other season. When I flown and stayed here in the US, I know that this means a new life and new beginning for me, and that was the case. I have my new life as a wife, as a foreigner turned permanent resident, I have new family, new career and simply different path that I took, completely dissimilar to what I have previously planned and thought of, but like spring, I bloomed and I feel the beauty of what I have now, and like all the four seasons, I have moved on.
