Just home from our daily walk in the snow today. It is absolutely beautiful out there! I love this time of year. We’re also noticing that this year there are an inordinate number of people who already have their outdoor Christmas lights up and on. I think people have more time on their hands and likely need a wee boost in the cheer department.
I have to admit I’m so cheerful I can hardly stand myself. I have my down times, but they don’t even feel like downs so much as a kind of pull inward to be present to something that is arising in me. I am seeing the challenges that come up so differently these days; whether they are internal or seem to be external, I see and feel so much more Grace and Gratitude in and through them that I’m going to have to find a new name for them. Hmmm… Gifts. Gifts that open the heart and invite me to receive new and wonderful possibilities as well as new levels of Love.
I have to admit there’s a niggling in the back of my mind though where I’m wondering when I’m going to hit that upper limit. I’ve experienced the rise and fall too often in life not to be aware that this too will pass. That’s ok, whatever’s coming next is all part of this amazing dance of life and I’m grateful for it all.
Namaste
