The spring air is kissing my face.

Yes, this is the title of a Mandarin song. An old Chinese New Year song.  I felt the spring air is kissing my face and this remind me of spring.  Some elderly people have heard this song over and over at every CNY festive season. The restaurants and the supermarts will be the first one to play this song and it is kind of bore for some people. For me, it brings a beautiful feeling and a feeling of a happy childhood.

Spring is the most beautiful season as the snow melt, the warm returns and the color of the season change, From the pure white snow to brighter days to come with more sunlight and a cold wind. You can walk under the sunlight and yet you don't feel hot. It is a warm and comfortable feeling.  A brand new year with a brand new start with new expectations and hope. A hope for a better year and at the same time, memories rushing through of head. The memories of past years . Tons of it. We relive the good old years and be reminded of some sadness and unhappy occasions. We should throw these sad memories out of our mind but yet it sinks deep in our memory. Yes, yes, yes. Lets have fresh hope and we move on to be a better person to all the people around us , near and far.

Yet, the Spring remind us that another year have passed. We are a year older and nearer.  Nearer to what ? Yes, we can choose not to think about it and ignore it. But, it don't go away. A fact is a fact. Our physical body will tell us. Especially the lines on our face and our hair is turning white if it is not already white. Unless we keep up with our daily exercise, we can feel the energy and our strength slipping away.  Our joints starts to be painful and our eyes starts to be blur. This is the natural cycle of life and nobody can avoid it. The phase of the twilight years.

Yes, we are getting old but we can do something about it. We can change our mindset and treat age as a number and carry on doing what we have been doing . Why should we slow down and why do we need to feel the age?  We can remain active and enjoy the beautiful moments and breath in the spring air.  It will rejuvenate our feeling of youth. Nmmmm.... so fresh and empowering. We should not do this only in the Spring. We can sleep early and wake up early to have the same feeling.  Treat each early morning as the beginning of Spring. The air is cool and fresh. Treat each morning as the start of a new year because it is a new day. Treat each new day as a new start because yesterday is dead and gone. No need for us to wait , wait for a new year to have this feeling of freshness and a new beginning.  It is all in our mind and it is within us to change this thinking.  If you want, you can play this song every day to remind you that it is a new beginning.

Now, it is only 6.30 am and I am breathing in the fresh air and feeling rejuvenated with the near Spring air kissing my face. It feels good and I am appreciating it. It is a brand new day and I am feeling good. I hope of you reading this blog can feel what I feel , a feeling of joy no matter where you are and  how you are.  It is within you to change and you to change your way of thinking and your thoughts. Nobody can do it for you.  Start to enjoy the song instead of treating it as a bore . It has its magic of reminding you of the good memories and a new hope.

Ow! it feels good ... so fresh, empowering  and peaceful ... it is just like magic.  Bring out your appreciative attitude and you will know what I mean.

Namaste.
