Spring

It's the first Monday of the month and that means a new challenge over at Path of Positivity!  Our theme this month, which is always optional, is Birth of New Beginnings.  

As I pondered this theme, Spring comes to mind very quickly.  Here in the Midwestern US, we are seeing a somewhat early spring after a relatively mild winter.  Spring is a wonderful time to be reminded how nature has a new beginning every year.  

I also see a sort of rebirth in the attitudes of people who live in this environment.  It's as if people have sort of been in a lull and wake up to the optimistic possibilities the world holds for them.  

This whole idea inspired the layout above with the beautiful flowers, butterflies, and bright colors.

My card is off to a friend who has a sort of new beginning of her own as she victoriously meets the end of an enormous health challenge.  I imagine after her long battle, she is looking forward to her new beginning of living life to its fullest again ~ another example of a sort of 'rebirth' I think.
