Love the warm golden glow of the Autumn colors. My home is surrounded by trees and when the leaves start to change color it reflects a golden glow inside my home as well! Feels very comforting and the seasonal change makes me want to decorate, cook and create.
Our personal lives each have seasonal changes too, at times it is difficult for me to be in the current season - Sometimes I want to go back to what feels comfortable or jump ahead to what looks much better. I have to do some self talk to walk myself thru the uncomfortableness. Navigating new territory can seem appealing on the onset but once immersed in change it is easy to question myself.
What does all of this mean? For me it is about finding things that I enjoy and appreciate every day in my current season. It may be as simple as a walk thru the trees on the trail above my house. Appreciating friends who share this season of life with me and offer support by talking thru the steps and offering perspective.
The older I get the more I know there are no right answers or directions that fit everyone and every lifestyle. We each have to navigate our own season our own way. Some choose a wider more traveled path and others choose to forge a new trail. For those who know me well you will read between the lines and perhaps understand more meaning here. More and more I'm learning to let go... Let go of control, let go of expectations, let go of what I thought I knew. It all takes time. One step, one day, one season at a time.
