Idiom: Spring in your step
After a long winter, many people feel tired and sluggish.
But when spring arrives, everything changes.
Suddenly, you have a spring in your step.
The days grow longer, the sun shines brighter, and the temperature rises.
There’s a new feeling in the air.
To have a spring in your step means to walk with extra energy, happiness, and enthusiasm.
You’re feeling kind of bouncy.
When you have a spring in your step, you feel lighter and more positive.
Imagine how you walk when you are in a good mood—maybe you walk a little faster, with a bounce in your step.
That’s a spring in your step!
As the weather warms up after winter, it’s common to notice a spring in your step.
The sound of the birds singing after returning from their winter holidays, and the fresh air help you feel more alive.
You want to go outside, meet friends, or try new things.
The world seems full of possibilities, and that puts a spring in your step.
You might wake up and notice a spring in your step as you get ready for the day and realize you don’t need that big old coat anymore.
On your walk to work or school, you could feel a spring in your step as you enjoy the blooming flowers.
Even at the end of the day, the excitement of spring can give you a spring in your step.
As spring returns and the weather improves, notice how the season puts a spring in your step.
Let the new energy and enthusiasm carry you forward.
Enjoy it.
I don’t want to rain on your one-person parade as you bounce down the street, but remember this, too shall pass.
Winter is coming.
