January!!! We are three weeks in and 2018 is starting to feel like home! The days are growing longer, just barely. I love this time of year, it feels so full of promise and hope! And then.... a bleak patch. Perhaps it is the way the weather can go grey for a few days and feel as if we are taking a step back...wasn't spring supposed to be right around the corner?! But... these grey patches do not need to be anything other than an opportunity to reflect, catch our breath, pause. There is beauty here too. Above all, do not take it personally... which sounds funny, but seriously. How often have we heard or said ourselves, "This weather is making me so crazy, depressed, lethargic, etc..." thereby personalizing it. The weather is of course, neutral. It just is. How we feel about it is up to us. As huge swaths of the world suffer from drought, some of us are lucky enough to be in the deluge of rain. Water! Eau de vie! So grey and rainy? I will take it!!! With gratitude!
Wishing everyone a lovely week, full of kindness, compassion and fun!
