Finding
the beauty in every breath.
After
months of lifelessness, the once barren trees hushed by winter's frigid grip
are silently emerging with new life. All around there seems to be a renewed
presence of life. A hint of hope electrifies the crisp Spring air. It hits you like the chill of the cool damp April morning: you
can't help but breathe it in. Do you feel it? Do you see it?
Amidst
the cold months of winter, I too wondered if I would ever feel the life
renewing rays of the Spring sun. This last battle with CF left me consumed by
the desolation and harshness of winter, leaving me desperate for any signs of life: to be immersed in Spring's hope. There's nothing I wished for more than
to feel such life coursing through my veins again: to breathe deeply, to
live fully, and to dream without limitations.
Today,
there are signs of Spring all around me. The trees are budding, the Daffodils
and Tulips are bursting forth with life, and an endless song can be heard from
the branches stretching high above my head. My soul is blooming with hope for today and
the possibility of tomorrow. I am renewed by Spring's flourishing beauty and
reminded just how amazing this life is. For that I am truly grateful. Love to
you all.
Step outside and breathe in that Spring air and all its hope.
