MARCH into a new spring

“Spring” by Antonio Vivaldi (classical music)
MARCH (the 3rd month of the year in Gregorian calendar), marks the transition from winter to spring, bringing along a profound sense of rejuvenation and hope, when days are getting longer, flowers are budding and weather is getting warmer and warmer.
This is the first month of spring in the Northern Hemisphere (North America, Europe, Asia and part of Africa) and the first month of fall or autumn in the Southern Hemisphere (South America, part of Africa, and Oceania).
As winter fades and spring emerges, March brings a unique blend of history, traditions and lots of natural wonders.
March and the arrival of spring always served as a powerful source of inspiration for poets worldwide and through their verses, they captured the essence of revival, rebirth and the enchanting beauty that accompanies this time of the year. Whether it is the blooming flowers, the gentle breezes, or the delicate songs of birds, their poems celebrate the magic of March and the fantastic transformative power of spring.
A new cycle of life in nature is beautifully unfolding each spring and this holds a special place in the hearts of so many for its symbolic significance and the marvelous beauty that comes with it. 
Spring adds new colors and new beauty to everything…enjoy!
May you cheerfully march into spring, dear ones, as it is the season of renewal!

March 20, 2025: SPRING Equinox & World Happiness Day

 The beginning of a new cycle of life is graciously unfolding in front of our eyes….enjoy it, dear ones
Wishing you a beautiful spring time!
On March 20, 2025, the entire world is also observing the International Day of Happiness.
This year’s theme CARING AND SHARING reminds us that lasting happiness comes from caring for each other, feeling connected & being part of something bigger.
 Short scientific background on SPRING EQUINOX:
“Spring Equinox” is an astronomical event, nearly noticed by everyone, when the day and night are almost of an equal length, marking the first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere; this is commonly regarded as the instant of time when the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun. This is one of the four seasonal turning points, when the strength of the old goes into the new as the power of life blossoms with grace while Nature springs again to LIFE.
