Shea Lennon: Taking Back Spring: Floral and Stripes

It's no secret that spring is my favorite season. It has a lot to do with the fact that my birthday is in April, but more than anything I love the feeling that accompanies that first warm day that comes after winter. It's a feeling I can't explain exactly, but I get it every year, every spring.

Lately I've been letting life's small irritations put a damper on my spring feeling. I'm starting to resemble our weather forecast; everywhere I turn there's a new rain cloud on the horizon. Something changed though when I stepped outside today. Maybe it's the bright sun deciding to make an appearance, or perhaps it's this quintessentially spring mix of stripes and florals, but I felt that familiar little tingle of joy. The rain clouds will surely come back, but I'm going to try my best to hold on tight to my spring feeling.

Is there a season that brings you more joy than any other? Why?
