I love Fall!
For me this is a time of slowing down and listening inward.
I may be one of the few, but I enjoy the shorter daylight hours and the less intense pace.
I am also in the Fall of my life. Do I love it, this life-season? Sometimes, but honestly at times it feels like my best days are behind me.
AND, I’m open to learning to love the bright colors and paring down, the “aging with grace” and “acquiring wisdom”!
Aging, slower pace, paring down…none of these are things our culture is very comfortable with, so it does seem like an uphill climb.
As I watch the trees drop their leaves, I hope to be reminded that I can continue to drop more and more of what no longer serves me, be that beliefs, opinions, unkindness to myself and others, hurry or bitterness.
Here’s to letting go AND looking ahead with anticipation.
