Something about spring always has me hopeful.

The world is springing back into life and color, with flowers adorning the sides of roads, fields, and more. This past weekend was so restorative for me.

And my baby hosta has sprouted again, so I’ll be watering that regularly to encourage its growth. Being a plant mama has unexpected mental health benefits.

I’ve done a lot of socializing and not as much reflecting. But I often find that overthinking can lead to spiraling and worse, so maybe it’s good that I’m keeping busy. I don’t have time to feel lost in life if I’m busy living it.

Reflection is important, sure, but I’m happy for the new burst of energy. For the caffeine, the good weather, kind people in my life, and more! All the simple things add up to make me happy.

Maybe I can get somewhere like this. I can do this!
