“April showers bring May flowers” is a saying that dates back to the 1500s. This saying, credited to Thomas Tusser, is a reminder that even the most unpleasant of events bring forth enjoyable things; perhaps a lesson in patience.
Many of life’s pleasure come to those who wait; patiently waiting and enduring the clouds and dampness of an April day, you will find it easier to take in the smells, colors, and simply the beauty of May.
The rain creates a moisture rich soil helping plants to grow faster & stronger, creating a positive stimulus helping nutrients reach the roots faster. The temperatures are slowly escalating; as the temperatures rise plants find it easier to grow. They start to thrive when the ground starts to thaw, the combination of this and rainfall brings life to seeds. The return of insects plays a vital part bringing forth the beauties of springtime. They pollinate and fertilize which is so important to the reproduction of these beautiful products of spring.
This often happens in life; when it seems as if life has a stretch of bleak days & unhappiness seem to be filling our hearts, it is important to remember that these are the days where life is preparing us for “flowers”. Life is helping us to grow, become stronger and to thrive.
When people are having a hard time waiting for those glorious May days, they may decide to bring spring flowers into the home, doing what is necessary to create the sense of warmth that we are bound for with the change of the season. We must also do this by surrounding ourselves with positivity and beauty; those beautiful days will come and when they do we will be thankful that we had the proper cultivating that we needed to embrace the blessings in our lives.
