Spring has (hopefully) sprung!

It is such a beautiful day today! The sun is shining and there is a real hint of warmth in the air and the possibility of Spring arriving soon.
In France (like most of Europe) we had a prolonged cold snap. Although the temperatures here were not as cold as some places, for just over 2 weeks we were below zero, getting as low as -15°C and rising to the dizzy heights or -4°C during the day. I know these temperatures are often exceeded in more northerly places, but for us wimps, this was very, very, very cold.

However today has been lovely. People are sitting at the tables outside the cafes, not because they are smokers but to enjoy the weather. Strolling around with your sunglasses on was a necessity not a fashion choice. It was even possible to take my gloves off!

There is something about sunshine that raises my spirits and reminds me to take a good look at the beauty of this world and show gratitude for the beauty of nature. I am looking forward to welcoming the signs of Spring - the new leaves, the blossom on the trees, the bulbs peeping up from the earth, the first bright flashes of yellow from the daffodils.

Even though I live in the heart of a city, it is still possible to see nature all around and be inspired about what an amazing place the universe is.  I took the long way when walking back from the shops, just to enjoy the weather and to see a view that looks towards the Alps that I know looks great in the sunshine. I felt my spirits rise and my vibration and energy levels increase.

Sometimes it is the simple things that help us feel better, so as Spring begins to emerge I encourage you all to go out there and look for it, enjoy it and let Mother Nature help rise your vibrations.
