Help! This has been put in as a picture caption in a catalogue for an education provider. The picture has happy smiling adult students against a backdrop of spring countryside. I obviously can't go with a literal translation, but does anyone have a suggestion for a similar phrase/sloan/quote that would fit the context? (The joys of spring and gathering buds in May are all my tired little brain can come up with and they're not really suitable!).

Let your mind blossom anew
obviously not a literal translation, but it conjures up the song Swedish children sing on the last day of school while acknowledging that some adult students may not have sat at a school desk for a while.

Comment: "Thanks Kathy, and to all of you, but this one fits the context best. (Don - lovely suggestion, but I felt that the idea of the springtime of your life might not ring very true with the more "mature" students in the target group!)."

The springtime of your life
Don't know how well this fits your context. Try it out. Mind you, my brain's tired as well!
