Here in Ohio, we still have the threat of winter blues. On those random days when the sun fully shines, and the temperature is up, I throw up the windows, and I have a smile on my face all day, not matter what is in store for me that day.
btw, loved your poem.

If we ever stop appreciating the flowers, the sunset, or the overall beauty in our world, then what do we really have? It shows we have hope... and without hope, we are nothing. :)

I really enjoyed this whole post! And to let you in on what may surprise some, though probably not youy: I am actually quite cheerful most of the time, even if I don't post cheery things. I post things to instruct, not to entertain!
And thanks for your positive response earlier. Oh, and re my observation about your weather always emding up with us: We are being threatened with your very high winds today, but the tornadoes got lost somewhere along the way...

The poem lifted my Spirits as did your post. Spring flowers. And I had to imprint flowers on our pile of snow to create some color. Yes I was laughing at myself when I did that.
Oh but there is too much misery in this World that must be tired of we humans, yet the seasons move through their cycles and like you I want to ennjoy the rest of my life concentrating on what is beautiful and loving around me. Love you.

Right now, we are getting an early spring, but it is set to get cold again.

There's always pressure on the mind from the vagaries of life
but taking a minute to wonder at the beauty of a flower/sunrise, etc. soothes and eases that. It's great to be grateful.

TAPS, beautiful poem and beautiful sentiments in your post. And, I learned a new word! Had to look up diapason! Who cannot feel just a bit uplifted why a beautiful flower, or a great song, or a true smile?
