Best Idea To Add Some 'Spring' To Your Step

By now, winter has lost it's appeal and the cool temps are hanging around way too long. But these chilly early spring days will be over before you know it. If you're like me, you're ready to see a glimpse of Spring.

While tulips are nowhere to be seen outside, they are ready and waiting for you to grab them up at your local florist or grocery store. Just the sight of yellow tulips can make your day feel a little brighter, a little sunnier.

Start an early Spring tradition at home or even at work. Treat yourself to a bunch of blooms at the grocery store or florist - they're probably right by the entrance. Buy a bunch for home and one for your office. Add a few branches of pussy willow and you're good to go!

At work I challenge you to see how many of your co-workers notice the tulips you added at your desk. I bet you'll see that they give the office atmosphere a little oomph, a little pizazz.

Not a tulip fan? Add some color by clipping a few branches of forsythia and add them to a vase of tepid water. Within a few days the forsythia will be blooming and you'll swear spring is finally here (at least inside your home and heart).
