As the seasons have shifted and the cold of winter has faded away, I can't help but feel rejuvenated. Maybe it's the longer days, warm and sunny weather,, or the sight of landscapes in full bloom, but there's something truly magical to me about the spring
For many of us, myself included, the colder months of January, February, and early March can feel gloomy and stagnant. The shorter days often affect me, as I drive home from work at 5:30 in the dark. But as April rolls around, a transformation takes place. Nature comes alive.
I've always loved spending time in the great outdoors - not surprising considering the industry I chose to work in. Whether it's taking a jog through Turkey Creek Preserve, an early morning walk on Vilano Beach, or simply spending time on my back patio, there's something incredibly rejuvenating about being surrounded by nature, and even more so while it's bursting with new growth.
Countless studies have shown that spending time outdoors can have a profound impact on our mood and mental well-being, so let's not let it go to waste. Schedule that camping trip, eat your lunch outside, make a date with your significant other to visit a local park, or drink your coffee on the porch tomorrow morning.
Do what you can to make the most of the great outdoors this spring. Revel in the beauty of nature, and here's to a refreshed and blessed spring season.
