Spring is my favorite time of year for many reasons. Some of these reasons include: my favorite holidays occur, my birthday, and the flowers. Not to mention the warmer weather!
The spring holidays I look forward to every year are Earth Day and Easter. I love Earth Day because it reminds me of my buying and throwing away habits and makes me re-evaluate how I do things. It also inspires me to do things that would benefit my neighborhood. Such as planting flowers and cleaning up parks.( Look for more on this later;) ).
Easter is one of my favorite holidays for many reasons. One reason is the cuteness! Frilly, spring, colorful little girly dresses with bows and fluff give me all kinds of feel goods! My parents always gave me gloves and an Easter hat to complete the Easter ensemble. Easter felt like Christmas morning at times. I always anticipated getting all dressed up with the lace and fancy buckle shoes.
Another reason, and the most important one, is the reason for Easter. The amazing gift of salvation that Jesus Christ gave to us when he awesomely died for our sins on the cross and miraculously conquered death and entered into heaven to be with our Father three days later. Amen!
With spring also comes new life. The hatching of little robins, the blooming of colorful flowers, and the birth of...me! The sun seems to get brighter and the air smells sweeter. When I was younger I always knew my birthday was near when the flowers started popping up everywhere. One flower in particular, tulips, was what I always looked for. This is probably the reason that tulips are my favorite flower! To me they symbolize spring, beauty, and my birthday!
