"Easter"

Easter...

Nearly everyone that I spoke to, last week, said that this is their favorite holiday of the year...

It falls in our spring when the days are getting longer, the flowers and trees are  blooming, our residents from the northern parts are emerging after the inside-bound days of winter, the families gather to enjoy traditional family meal favorites, people bring out their bright-colored outfits, and the Christian churches are filled with standing room only from their sunrise services to thru the later services thru the day...

The reflections during the pre-Easter Lenten observances, lead to thoughts of refreshed renewal...

It's a time to re-charge and motivate with positive goals...embrace this feeling...
