Experiencing Spring

So every year the seasons change, and for the most part, i don't really notice each individual change, but there was something very different about this Spring. I remember watching the tree in the backyard transform each day, perhaps it was the first time i had a tree right there to view from the same spot each day...but everyday I watched the leaves form...it started as those little buds, and then these itty bitty little tiny leaves, which grew each day just a little bigger. It was so amazing to watch, I don't think ever before in my life i experienced a baby leaf grow, i guess i never looked up to see the trees beginning life anew...but this year i was able to experience that change...it was truly amazing...perhaps my mind was more atuned to such growth and astonishment because of the life within that is going through those same kind of changes and growth...it is a lot to take in...as my belly grows and this baby kicks, it is hard to imagine that just a few short months ago it didn't have the ability to do that, and just think, over the course of the rest of my life, i get to be amazed by what this child will learn and grow to be...spring definitely has new life in my mind and heart this year, it will be fun to watch other seasons change and see what new insights might be found within each of them....
