The Jewish holiday of Purim is almost upon us, Lent started yesterday with Ash Wednesday and Spring Training has begun in Arizona; the Major League baseball games will soon be played. This means that Spring is near. I love the Spring time. I prefer warmer weather and I love sunshine; probably because I love being around water. I love the ocean, a lake or river; but if none of them are available, I love being in a swimming pool.

I prefer the long days of the Summer, but Spring is a close second. So today I am grateful that as long as the creator has given me another day to live, the calendar always moves forward and I am able to enjoy more beautiful days that are in my future.
