And we're not the only ones that feel this way -- our children do, as well.
Meet Daniel. As this is only his third spring, you can imagine his excitement as the warm weather invades the outdoors. Last fall, he couldn't quite figure out how to keep the pedals going forward and kept breaking instead. However, six months is an eternity for a three year old and after a quick tip from mom to "keep your heels down," he was off! You could feel his excitement as he confidently tore up the promenade in Riverside Park, pedaling madly until dark.
On the subject of renewal and freedom, what are your favorite "springtime firsts"? The first day you walk outside without a jacket. The first hint of spring bulbs peaking up from the ground. In Daniel's case, his first successful bike ride.
Let us know, we'd love to hear.

What a wonderful blog! One of my favorite spring "firsts" is the cherry blossoms that decorate the park near my apartment. And there's nothing quite like the smell of lilacs.
Here's another green tip of the day. Ask your favorite barista for a mug instead of a plastic cup the next time you go for a cup of Joe. Americans use billion paper cups per year, so this will help make a difference!
