April arrives with a sense of awakening. The snow has melted away, and in its place comes soft rain, muddy paths, and the first signs of green pushing through the earth. At the lake, the ice has fully given way to open water, rippling under gray skies or reflecting brief moments of sun. The air smells fresh and alive, and everything feels like it’s beginning again. Growth is no longer quiet, it’s visible and messy. How do you experience this season of renewal? What in your life is beginning to take shape, even if it still feels uncertain? As the world around you comes back to life, what parts of yourself are you ready to rediscover?
