Spring has officially sprung in the N.O. Granted, we didn't truly have a harsh winter. We had a few colder days. No really freezing ones, definitely no snowy ones. But, spring has finally shined its sun on us here. The weather is completely warm. The rain has shown up weekly. The trees are blooming as re the flowers. I think I had forgotten how nice Spring can be. I like that the weather has been consistently one way. Which, by the way, isn't always a guarantee in my city. One can't help but to be happy when the weather's really good. It just makes me feel better. The sun shining brightly makes me happy inside out. Springtime is slowly becoming one of my favorite seasons. How could you not love it? Enjoy this great Spring day people!
It's amazing to me the way things change. I know that the only constant thing is change. It's evolutionary. It is what keeps us going & growing. Some times I forget that. It's been said that people come into your life for one of three reasons: reason, season or lifetime. I've definitely gotten people wrong a few times. The adolescent mistake of trying to make a season person into a lifetime mate. But, what's for you is for you & nothing can change that.
A few years ago, there were people, places, & things, I loved & cherished so deeply. And, today, they basically mean nothing to me. I'm guessing that they all fell into the "reason & season" category of my life. Losing those people hurt me deeply. The memories of those past friends are kinda distorted in my mind. I can hardly remember their voices or laughter. What I distinctively remember are their words. Their words have lasted throughout the years. This, I'm sure, is why they were sent to my life.
I really hope that my words have stuck with them as well. That's a part of the legacy that I'm creating. I don't regret any person that I've encountered good or bad. All of that helped make me into the woman I am. Being a reason or season person serves a great purpose. It may just give purpose to someone. Being a lifetime person is the ultimate gift to both parties. A lifetime of memories, laughter and love sounds like a great journey to take with the right people.
