Spring Forward

Spring

It’s time to “Spring Forward” this weekend!  Many are saying “already”.  Yes, already.  Daylight Savings  Time arrives at 2 am this Sunday morning so, don’t forget to set your clocks ahead 1 hour before you go to bed Saturday night!

Spring!  It is the time of year we think of renewal!  Beautiful flowers, extra daylight time and family gatherings.  This is the time of year we shake off the winter doldrums and begin planning gardens, picnics, vacations and backyard barbecues and parties.  In the spring, we celebrate several holidays.  There is St. Patrick’s DayEaster,Earth Day, Cinco de Mayo, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and Father’s Day as we begin to move into summer.

As the years have passed, we have gotten more in touch with how close we need to be with those who matter most to us.  Many people use this time to send notes, cards and small gifts to just say “I’m thinking of you”.  Gifts are a way of showing how much we care for someone.  It is a remembrance doesn’t have to be expensive.  As we enter this spring season, give some thought to those close to you and reach out to them and let them know you are thinking of them with a card or a small token of your affection!  You will be glad you did!
