The sun rises timidly above the horizon. Its rays barely warm the icy ground. Plants wrapped in ice crystals are just anticipating the spring that is to come. We too are still sleepy and lazy.
The days are cloudy and the nights long and dark. Only occasionally a ray of sunshine gives us a feeling of hope. We believe almost instinctively that the dawn will once again awaken to life and cover everything in lush greenery.
Also the beginning of the year raises in us still shy desires, that something new will happen, we will do something unusual, that something long felt will come true now.
