Happy Spring Cleaning!

I was thinking about spring cleaning my house this weekend and did manage to tidy up somewhat. My plan for this afternoon was to do the windows. However, it's only about 7 degrees to the good. So, my next plan was to sit down and blog something related to spring cleaning.

This time of year, during the Easter season, I relate spring cleaning a house to spring cleaning my life. What is it that gets us in this frame of mind? My theory is that we see the snow melt, the buds on the pussy willows come out and the grass begin to green up and we look forward to new life.

Jesus is alive! He is with us! Not again, but still! We are reminded of the wonderful news of the Resurrection and it brings hope of new life. Not just the spring time new life, but a new beginning for our souls and hearts. I know that I feel like smiling more; my attitude is more positive; and it's easier to let go of the negative.

Happy Spring Cleaning to all!
