Spring v. Winter’s Rejuvenation

Now that we have passed into Daylight Savings Time bringing the Jersey Shore an earlier sunrise and sunset, I find myself once again struggling to reset my biorhythms and sleep cycle.
For some reason, the Fall reset takes weeks longer than Spring’s. Waking up fully refreshed at four am and falling asleep at eight pm is not conducive to a clear mind and rested body for me. Every Fall I curse the time change, but this year I am trying a new approach. See if it appeals to you.
The awakening and rejuvenation of the Spring season is evident to us all. The warmer sun, the song of birds, spotting a robin, bright new grasses and flower buds breaking through the soil, longer and warmer days and more sunlight. I could go on and on, but you get the idea.
From the deep snows of my youth on a farm in the middle of nowhere, which deepened my despair from isolation, to nearly killing myself in college attempting a black diamond run on a dare, I have never been a fan of winter!
I am wondering though, if I look at winter as a season of rejuvenation as well, rather than intolerable frozen inert days, would it help my lousy attitude? Where might I find positive evidence of this?
A blanket of snow neutralizes and cleanses the landscape.
Animals are hibernating in warm burrows gathering strength and energy for spring and the birth of their next litter.
My garden and flower beds look dead, but under the surface, the soil is being replenished by the organic nutrients left behind.
We turn to long ignored indoor projects and paint, refurbish, update and organize our homes.
May this Fall and Winter show you other elements of growth and life to feel deeply.
