April's Word of the Month - Refresh
by Linda Lee Sheldon on 04/03/15
I lost myself in the beauty of the season! It's so hard for me to stay indoors at the computer when the weather is beautiful and full of fresh beginnings.
With the spring influence upon us, April's word is Refresh - To revive, reinvigorate, renew.
I had an Aunt in Pennsylvania that went into spring cleaning with gusto! She emptied all - I mean ALL the cabinets, washed all the dishes (by hand), took all the books off the shelves... Well, you get the picture. That was her way to refresh and reinvigorate after being inside for the long winter.
It can be very uplifting to do something new and different.
Here are some ideas:
- Plant some fruits, vegetables or flowers in the garden
- Walk slowly and mindfully or sit comfortably outside, noticing the new growth, the clouds and feeling the breeze on your face
- Refresh a room in your home with new paint, furniture, tablecloth or throw pillows
Like selecting "refresh" on the computer, doing something new and different can provide a new perspective of you life. Enjoy whatever it is that you decide to do to Refresh yourself. Make it something fun or at least fulfilling! Enjoy your new beginnings this spring!
How do you refresh?
