Here in Central Illinois we have enjoyed an unusually warm early March. In fact, many of us enjoyed sunny 70 degree weather for a couple of weeks and forgot (for a moment anyway) that old man winter was just fooling us. Now it is cold again. The sun forgot to shine today. But look closer.....for the first day of spring was upon us (March 19) and Spring is now beginning! The trees are budding and the seeds are sprouting from the ground. Soon the world will be saturated with chirping birds and beautiful spring flowers.

On a mental health and wellness note:

Spring is the perfect time to remember how wonderful change and new beginnings can truly be. It is a time for planting seeds and birthing new ideas, creative projects and new friendships. Spring is our reminder that winter never lasts forever, and life will become warmer. Day by day.

Midwest winters. Cold. Treacherous. Unpredictable. If you live here or grew up here, you understand.

An ice storm shuts it all down today. We are inclined to hibernate. Stay home. We cook hearty meals and sit by the fire. We call and check on the safety of those we love. We check on our neighbors. It's a Midwestern thing.

Winter nights like these are reminders that we need to slow down.....eat better and rest more....we need to nurture relationships that matter to us.....winter has a purpose. Like life.

Ice and snowstorms do not last forever. Marvel in the beauty of the winter ice and snow tonight. Rest, slow down and reflect. Check in on those you care about and love.

Happy winter from your friends at Healing Hearts.

We all need perspective. Support. We are here. We understand. We offer real help for real people.
