ALL OF THE STAGES . . .
Word on the street the past few weeks has been all about the Winter that just won't quit. Folks in our neck of the woods keep willing Spring to happen, almost as if the cold weather tricked our minds into believing we're OWED rising temperatures and gobs of green in a lush landscape.
It's easy to forget that Spring has a sluggish start around here - it's often marked more by mud and muck than anything else.
But we try to remind ourselves to appreciate all of the stages. The first 70 degree day will, indeed, be divine - but the bud break also marks the end of the maple sugaring season. We don't gain something great without sacrificing something special.
Not every season (or stage of life, or part of a job, or gift that you wished for) will be all glamorous all the time. There are times when things might just feel grueling or tiresome. And that's okay. There are little things to appreciate at every stage (that's why mother nature clued us into to sugar on snow).
Time brings perspective. It allows rest. It encourages a healthy amount of boredom. The valleys prepare us for the peaks where beauty and bounty are abundant.
