It seems that this has been one epoch of a winter. Months of being cold, dark and uncertain, months of longing for spring when it will be warmer, when we will feel happier, when we will get out more, eat less, exercise with purpose... as if a season, albeit one associated with hope, can bring us instant contentment! It raises a glaring question: why do we continuously put our lives on hold, waiting for the grass to turn a brighter shade of green over there, waiting for better luck, a better time, a better place, a better mind-set when all will finally be well?
Consider the inevitable 'spring cleaning' which seems to be obligatory with this season of freshness and rebirth. Why wait? Do we confine ourselves to homes that are less than spruce simply because it is winter; because we are too cold to be bothered; because the sunshine displays too dramatically the dirt, dust and detritus of our lives?
Yup, let us face facts: many of us are prone to 'tomorrow' lives; lives where great things gleam at us from a vague, hazy horizon. Seemingly, it is only once we have earned, found, bought, achieved, gained, succeeded that those glistening rays of hope will beam warmly upon us, bestowing true self-worth and fulfilment.
Living this philosophy - and many of us do - demeans our everyday lives to useless dust. Does happiness really stand so far distant, sneering and scowling viciously, waving joy under our noses like some demonic toreador? Definitely not!
Happiness is alive and well inside each and every one of us. It is a tiny polyp ready to detach and shrivel at the slightest whim or, an exquisite anemone waiting to be fed with hope and joy and affirmation and optimism. So, why wait?
Let us embrace this season and every other season with determination to live in the moment. Let us stop looking to the future for the realisation of our goals. Let us live in the present which can be beautiful, inspirational, glorious if only we will let it. Motivating ourselves to value the blessings bestowed upon every day will help us to grow into grateful, cheerful, positive people who find full joy in the simplest of things. And you don't have to wait for a season to spring into action.
If you're looking to celebrate Spring with style then you really should head to private members club, Home House. With longer, lighter (and warmer) days ahead, there are oodles of events this month, including the Members' Spring Party 'Once Upon a Time'!
