Patience...patience. Working on my patience of this weather, of Spring arriving. I continue to be aware of the challenge that still exists many days to get up, especially as the Daylight Savings darkness has delayed the morning sun. I’m noticing the lethargy and desire for more energy, the wish to shed the extra layers of clothes and body mass. My eyes search for the slightest hints of Spring, gazing at the bright blue sky, recalling the same view in the warmth of summer. For a moment my body warms. Lovely.
Along with patience is trust...trust that Spring WILL arrive, that crocus and daffodils will sprout and be among the first to appear, that the trees will soon be a haze of color as buds pop seemingly overnight on tree limbs. I trust that energy in my body and vibrancy in my mind will once again rise me from bed at 5:00 AM, desirous to greet the day with a glowing smile. Chatty birds will accompany me as I sip my coffee on the back porch in the morning, singing Alleluia to the sun!
In the meantime, I stay with my breath, some days activating diligence and digging deep to “keep on keepin’ on", and careful not to let March Madness follow me into April. April is the month of showers and with that come flowers. Let the blossoms bloom!!
How have you been fairing this long winter? What exciting or steady things have you done to care for yourself and enjoy what is here? I'd love to hear more so please share here.
Peace and Many Blessings!
