Easter thoughts

I won't be able to post anything for the rest of the week, and my "glimpse" fell through for today (and why would I ever

 think to be prepared and have others planned in advance?), so I decided to post a few random thoughts on Easter since it is fast approaching!

This blog isn't about sharing my thoughts on religion, but it is about sharing most aspects of my life, so I will just say that Easter is one my absolute favorite times of the year (for reasons other than Reese's eggs and Peeps....and jellybeans and chocolate bunnies - I'm not a Cadbury creme fan).

As a Christian, for me it is a reminder of a huge sacrifice that was made for me and a time to take an honest look at my life and determine if I am living in a way that is even worthy of such a sacrifice and to see what changes I need to be making to try to become more worthy - changes that usually run a little deeper than typical goals set as New Year's resolutions, for example.

It is also a time of hope and peace in the belief that there is more to our lives than just life until death and of joy in the thought of being with loved ones again after they leave us here on Earth.

For non-Christians surrounded by others celebrating the holiday with time off from work or feasts with friends and family, I would think now is as good a time as any to join in the spirit of revival - of any kind! Spring is here! Maybe not all the way, but it's OK to breathe a little sigh of relief and wave (among other things) goodbye to winter!

Spring is my favorite season. With grass peeking out, lakes thawing out and a brighter, warmer sun shining longer than it has for quite some time, I just cannot not be in a good mood! Everything is coming to life again, so why not give life to things you've been wanting to do but just haven't gotten around to yet? I seem to have the most energy this time of year, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Happy Easter! I hope you're able to spend lots of time with loved ones and beloved food groups!
