Here’s More on SPRING
Mini Story 1 — At Home
The windows were open, and the air felt lighter.
“It finally feels like spring,” she said, stretching.
He nodded. “Yeah. I woke up with a spring in my step today.”
She smiled. “I noticed. You practically sprang out of bed.”
He laughed. “I didn’t even mean to spring up like that.”
Later, while cleaning, she stepped back suddenly.
“Careful,” he said. “You almost sprang backward.”
She shook her head. “I don’t know what it is. Spring just makes me move faster.”
He looked around at the open space.
“Same. Something about spring always gives me energy.”
Mini Story 2 — At Work
The office felt different that morning.
“Everyone seems more awake,” someone said. “Must be spring.”
During a meeting, the manager added,
“Let’s not spring into changes too quickly.”
A coworker whispered, “Hard not to, when there’s a spring in the air.”
Later, someone stood up suddenly.
“Sorry,” he said. “I didn’t mean to spring out of my chair.”
Another laughed. “You’ve got a spring in your step today.”
He shrugged. “Can’t help it. Spring always does this to me.”
As the day ended, the manager smiled.
“Well, at least the energy is good. Let’s just make sure we control the spring instead of letting it control us.”
Mini Story 3 — In Public
The path through the park was busy with people walking and talking.
“I love spring,” she said. “Everything feels lighter.”
He stepped over a puddle easily.
“Careful,” she laughed. “You almost sprang too far.”
He grinned. “That’s what spring does to me.”
Nearby, a child suddenly sprang forward, chasing a ball.
“See?” he said. “Even kids feel it.”
They sat on a bench for a moment.
“There’s a real spring in the air,” she said. “You can feel it.”
He nodded. “Yeah. It makes people move, think, and even spring into conversations.”
As they stood to leave, he rose quickly.
“Easy,” she said. “That spring in your step isn’t going anywhere.”
