Spring is a time of awakening and beginning again. It is a time of rebirth and renewal physically, mentally, and spiritually. These are the days when the world around us comes to life before our eyes, flowers open, and gardens take root.
This is the time to journal about our goals and dreams so that we can begin to set them in motion. This is a season of growth and potential; journaling your thoughts and feelings can help get your mind on the right track.
