Spring

We all live our lives by the season.  As I go for a run, some of my neighbors must show the change of season by mailbox covers.  One has pictures of scarecrows and bales of hay.  Another has pictures of snowflakes.  This season is official by the display of a mailbox cover with pictures of pretty flowers in bloom.  

Even retail stores begin to tell us when we should change our thinking.  Seasonal items are displayed a month or two in advance.  Television advertising becomes a mass of commercials telling us what we need to purchase.  All of the "one uppers" gather their items in a hurry so they can be the first to display the new season.  

A change in season can lead to a change in heart or mind.  Teachers begin to think about end-of-the-school year activities.  Greens keepers and car wash owners begin thinking about an increase in business.  Whatever the change, let it be positive.  Have dominion over your mind and force yourself to see the positive outlook on every situation.
