It’s a wondrous time of year. Winter is approaching. There is a stark honesty in this cycle of seasons.
Reflection is necessary.
The trees are barren. The canopy of of leaves that once were,
have disappeared.
The winds of change shake loose all that is no longer
needed, as any mature and sturdy tree will tell you, stately in its naked
vulnerability. “Let go of the past” the tree whispers...”There is so much yet
to come.”
Darkness settles in early.
It nudges me to turn inward.
We each have an opportunity to connect to the magic that is
happening deep within the core, the re-growth, the evolving metamorphosis simmering.
We have the opportunity to trust.
We also have the opportunity to ignore it all, and fall into
a pattern of wanting it to be different, to cling to what we think we
want....usually to an aspect of our past. It’s our choice.
But, this is a time of renewal! Of appreciation. Of tender
consideration for our blessings- sowing the seeds of possibility that will
emerge and spring forth in future months as the frost melts and the sun blazes
longer each day.
What a gift this life is.
Sadie and I sit by the fire on the eve of a Great Winter Storm.
We are grateful. We are warm and fed. We
don’t have to travel. We can hunker down. The fireplace and Christmas tree
lights provide reassurance. We are loved by so many family and friends. We have
cherished new friends, who have offered their presence in ways that can only be
met by immense gratitude.
This inner glow of thanksgiving grows stronger. It connects and
surrounds each of you.
Winter holds the space of what can be. I am excited to see
what emerges. I know I am in charge of
my creation. I work on it with a joyful
heart every day. You are in charge of yours. What will it be?!
Dream big. Dream
often.
I am thankful for this wonderful life. For each of you.
Sadie rests on her bed...allowing what is to be. She’ll be
grateful for one more night time walk. She’ll be grateful for her bedtime
treat. Yet... she doesn’t expect it. She’s pretty much in the present moment all
of the time.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Be well. Be happy,
Until next time,
Sadie and Sue
