Winter of the Soul



Winter is upon us, more or less. We have just had the shortest day of the year and it is time to reflect and be introspective. Of course I have been wanting to get things done but the last few days have seen me give in to the spirit of the season. It was very frustrating trying to go at full speed when everything else had slowed down. So I gave up. Now I've let go of my need for everything to happen NOW I'm much happier. I'm sure it'll all happen in it's own time.

Meanwhile, the winter sun is shining. The garden is sleepily humming to itself. The lounge room where the morning sun comes pouring in is everyone's favourite place. At night the temperature drops and the fire keeps the chill off the air. Outside the stars are splashed across the sky in the cold night air. Stargazing is brief and followed by a dash inside to the fireplace to warm up again.

And with the end of the financial year here already it seems that it is the time is for sorting, reflecting and looking at how things are - on many levels. Patience, acceptance and insight are probably most helpful qualities right now. One day I'll learn how to be patient!
