Spring is a time to start brand new. The snow has melted away and flowers are beginning to bloom again. It is as if Mother Nature knows that you need to see the sun, feel the warmth and be happy again. Grass is green again, flowers and trees are back to showing up everywhere we look, and there are more hours of daylight. If the world knows when to start new, maybe that is a hint that we should do the same.

In a lot of ways, we do start new every spring. In school, we have a spring semester with an all new schedule, set of classes, classmates and professors. A lot of people also do spring cleaning. This is such a good way to start brand new once a year. It gives you a chance to declutter everything you had from the winter and figure out what you really need. It will also give you the opportunity to get new things in order to replace the old. This is especially true when it comes to relationships. Spring is a great time to figure out who your true friends are and hold them close. It can also be a good time to let some people go and move past whatever may have gone wrong. There is always a time to start new and move on from bad relationships in order to make room for good ones. You never know when God will open a new door for you, so leaving room for him to do so is always a good idea.

Spring can be full of new beginnings. From your new classes, new weather, new material things and new relationships. If winter has been rough for you, have hope that you can start new in the spring and can have a fresh start during this cheerful time of year.
