There are no guarantees, but it looks like winter might be over. It wasn’t the worst winter on record but it certainly felt like the longest one in a while. My farmer friends tell me they are several days away from “getting on the land” although fields are starting to dry up.
Spring is optimism season. My wife is a bit apprehensive about the season, as I have often attempted some form of expansion in the spring time. Makes sense to me, longer daylight hours, warmer weather and a promising future all seem like good conditions to grow and expand.

In just about every graduation ceremonies speech the distinguished guest speaker encourages the students to “follow your dream” and “you can be anything you want to be”. There is some wisdom and truth in both those admonishments but there needs to be discernment. On my graduation day there was no ceremony or speeches but had I been encouraged that I could be anything I wanted to be it would have been foolish to take it at face value.
