Spring Resolutions

Never cut a tree down in the wintertime. Never make a negative decision in the low time. Never make your most important decisions when you are in your worst moods. Wait. Be patient. The storm will pass. The spring will come.

Spring is almost here. March 20th is the first official day! My Spring Break in Florida was definite Spring weather, and then I had to drive back to rainy, gloomy Athens. But Spring is coming here too. It just needs a little more coaxing!

2014 has been a speedy year, because we are already half of the way into March. This time of year always gets me thinking. I will welcome 29 in a little over a month. And I believe in celebrating my whole birth month. Why? Because you are only as young as you feel. Because I think birthdays are special and should be memorable. And because I love myself and spending time with those who love me too!

For some reason, my life is pointing me to re-evaluate my goals and such, as Spring and growth enter the calendar. So here is what has been passing through the mind of Sabrina recently.

1. Health goals are at the top of my list. Winter did not exactly encourage me to exercise and eat better. Instead I was choosing comfort foods, and more rest. But I need a kick in the pants to get back to work. So here we go. 2 months of no soda and french fries (that will take me right up to Becca's wedding). And tracking my steps as part of my new insurance should be an encouragement.

2. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, & self-control. Do these seem familiar to you? They are the fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23. This Spring, as the world wakes up and blooms in beauty, well I want to see some of these traits grow and take over my spirit and character. There are so many days, where I feel like a grown-up woman. And approaching 29 is probably a good time to feel that way;) Anyway, that woman often is confused, but she also needs to always be kind. And I figure some faithfulness, peace, and patience are exactly the kind of flowers that I need to tend in my spiritual garden. I always believe in being the very best Sabrina possible, and that means I have to grow. I don't have the luxury to stay stagnant and complacent. That will age you before your time and tire out your soul.

3. Transitions are coming. The blog has been quieter than usual, but life has not. Life has been full and asking me the constant question of what do I want for my future? These decisions that are coming, have been months in the making. And I am already feeling peace about some choices. And of course some choices leave me trembling, but this is the time for change. And as Spring changes to Summer, yours truly will be making moves. But first I need to end up these times, in this place, with the wonderful people who have made Georgia home for the last 4 years (more details to come).

I absolutely LOVE the quote from the start of this post! The spring will come. And if I pay very close attention and have more faith, it can change my life.
