A few words about Change....

I love when the seasons start to change and the dark comes earlier and stays later. It is a comforting time to know the world is revolving on schedule and life is continuing on. I work long hours and on days that I'm working I find when I come home I'm tired and just want to relax. My day has been full and meditation isn't on my schedule when I get home. I decided a few years ago that I didn't have enough me time on work days so I started getting up earlier. I spend that extra hour catching up on email, enjoying my coffee, and generally starting my day in a relaxed place instead of a flurry to get out of the door. Now, I get up early every day and find that I can have time before the world starts stirring and the noises on the street below begin to fill my ears. It is a time of peace and reflection and I have come to really enjoy it. I love watching the sun start reflecting the new day on the windows of the buildings downtown with a breathtaking pink glow.

As the seasons are changing, so is my life. I am beginning to look at it differently. It is a world filled with options and choices and new beginnings. People are coming back into my life while others are leaving. Some have remained constant, as always. New friendships are developing and I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation. I'm in a space of reorganization in my life, reprioritizing, and self reflection. I started seeing a therapist and have been doing some pretty intense purging of stuff cluttering up my head. Lots of digging through junk, deciding what to keep, what to throw away, what to store and look at later. Change is sometimes difficult, but there are still choices and lessons. Embracing change through this time has been challenging, however, with each sunrise, the possibilities of my life are multiplying and acceptance of the changes is becoming less challenging. And for that I'm grateful. My own journey of change will continue just as the changing of the seasons will continue to arrive on schedule. So, today, I'll embrace change. I'll prepare for the change of seasons, look through my closet and pull out the warm clothing. It is a beautiful time of year, and a beautiful time of life.

So, the lesson for today is I love my body more than my resistance to change; surrendering to the possibilities of the life that lies before me.

Have a glorious day,
XO,
Karen
