January and February has been pretty much boring for me. Since my fracture, I haven't been able to get out and enjoy life. Now that spring is springing with the new flower sprouts in the ground, I'm getting a little excited about getting out and doing some shoveling and replanting. (oops i cant do that.) I'll have to have terry shovel for me.
I want to get out and see if my tulips are coming out of the ground. but the lawn is too unlevel. I don't dare venture out yet. Spring brings new growth, and new beginnings and new hope.

12 Ways to Say "Happy Spring!"
# On your way home from work, pick up some flowers or small flowering plants for each child's bedroom.
# Let tonight's meal be the first picnic of the season--even if you're dining on a blanket in the living room.
# Write a spring poem and tuck it under your child's pillow to find at bedtime.
# Create a list with your child of all the spring treats the earth delivers--robins' eggs, green grass, warmer air, blue skies, purple crocus...
# Throw open the windows and imagine that the breeze, even a cold one, is blowing out stale energy and old habits that you would like to release. This can be the day to spring-clean your psyche.
# Get out your favorite mail order catalogs and have each child select a new bathing suit, shorts, or an outrageous beach towel.
# Create a spring parade around the neighborhood. Give the kids markers and a piece of poster board to make a sign that says, SPRING HAS SPRUNG!
# Have breakfast for dinner tonight and scramble up some eggs, the universal symbol of rebirth.
# Create a collage of your family's dream garden using pictures you and your child cut out of magazines and catalogs.
# Write your own myth. What might Father Winter say to Sister Spring as she knocks upon his heavy wooden door? Does he want to leave yet? How does Sister Spring make her way in?
# As the sun goes down, light lots of candles, turn up your favorite music, and dance together to celebrate the beginning of spring.
# Head over to the nearest playground after dinner regardless of your children's ages. Swing into the spring air, even if there is snow on the ground.
