Five Things I Love About Spring

There’s absolutely so many things to love about Spring. Personally, I consider it as my second favorite season next to Autumn because of a number of reasons. Spring for me signifies rebirth, a new beginning and a chance to start anew. I think it’s the blooming nature that gives this kind of feeling to me or maybe the warmth of sunshine and it just feels empowering. Thinking about it now, it kind of feels weird but it’s so true, Spring gives me hope, so much hope in life and I think that’s really powerful. It sounds so poetic but isn’t it beautiful how a simple change of season can give us so much promise? Anyways, today I will share with you all five of the things I love about Spring and hopefully it’ll explain why this season gives me so much happiness.

The Blooming Nature

This is the biggest reason why I love Spring! It’s so refreshing to finally see colors around you. My favorite is around mid Spring where the trees and grass are greener and the flowers are just starting to bloom. It’s not only a beautiful sight but it is very symbolic for me. It teaches us a lesson that we can always better ourselves, we can regenerate ourselves and we can be better.

The Warmer Temperature

Of course! The warmer temperature is heavenly! I hate the coldness of Winter so Spring is such a nice rescue. It feels so nice to finally stop wearing all my Winter clothes and shoes ( I’m crossing my fingers here because it looks like we are having a snow storm this weekend!!). With the warmer temperature, I can finally enjoy long walks outside without going numb.

The Rainy Days

Ah Yes! The Rainy days. The heavy rainy days! Some people may not like this but I personally love rainy days (well, when I am indoor I guess!) because the sound of rain feels so therapeutic and somewhat mysterious. There’s something about it that makes me reminisce about the sad and happy times of the past but it mostly reminds me of my late grandfather. It’s mostly those stormy nights back when we were still living in the Philippines. Me, my cousins, siblings and grandfather would gather around with our blankets wrapped around our tiny bodies and with just the soft glimmer of the candle . (Power is usually out for a few days whenever there’s a big storm) He would share stories about how they survived and lived during the Japanese era or simply his life as a little boy. Sometimes he would share stories about our parents and the different places and provinces they used to live at. Our favorite topic is their love story with my grandmother, about how they met and started their own family. Those are one of the precious times of my childhood and the rain always makes me think of those moments and most specially my grandfather.

The Cool Sunny Mornings

There’s something about waking up in a sunny morning but it’s definitely more special during the Spring season because the temperature is more balanced than the Summer mornings. I love how I can enjoy the sun with the chilly morning breeze because it just wakes me up and drives me to start my day!

Lighter Clothings

This may sound so unimportant but if you live in a country where snow is really bad, you would probably understand me. I don’t know about you but I am ver happy to finally box my Winter shoes and clothings because they are freakin’ heavy! I always suffer muscle soreness every Winter and I extremely believe that all those thick and heavy clothings are one of the reasons why.
