dreading it........ knowing that winter is on it's way?
So many people I ask say they "used to love fall"....but having lived in Michigan for so long, now HATE it "because they know what follows." Old Man Winter!
I hear what you're saying but COME ON!
The sun is out, the leaves are so gorgeous as they change into their fall colors, it's not even Halloween and you're already into winter?
You'll find so much more joy in life if you live it one day at a time and not one season at a time!
All of the 4 seasons signify CHANGE.
Yes change! You know it well. We all do. It comes into our lives on any day, at any given moment and sometimes in multiple moments and weeks! At least with the seasons coming 4 times a year, you pretty much know what lies ahead. So why dread the magnificence of mother nature and her changes when they are completely out of your control? Why not instead, be consciencely thankful that you have your eyes to see the changes and your skin to feel them?
Bundle up, take a walk and breathe in the fresh air. I promise, you'll feel so grateful when get out and look all around you and up at the magnificent sky. Watch a squirrel prepare for winter. They are busy and so cute as they scamper about and jump from tree to tree.
When I grew up, we had only brown squirrels. Now they are gray, brown, black and sometimes a mixture of all 3 colors. Actually, I see more black squirrels than any other color. Interesting how that happened. Just think how boring our dogs lives would be without these adorable little creatures.
It's true that lifes greatest joys come from mother nature. Not only in her magnificence, but when you think of the simpleness of her as well.
My greatest prayer is that we love her completely and let her be.
That YOU remember how blessed you are to see, hear, touch and feel everything that is around you this very moment in nature.
What would life be like without sunshine and rain, trees and flowers, little and big animals, oceans with no mammals or fish, the blue or shades of gray sky? I can't even imagine.
Life doesn't have to be as hard as we have a tendency to make it. When you step up or step back and let your life unfold as it should, like it does in nature, you'll start to find the beauty in every season........and the wonder in every moment.
You, my friend, and me, are one of natures most beautiful creations, and
when we take care of her, we are taking care of ourselves.
It's important to remember that nature isn't just what you see outside your window or feel on your skin.
It's who you are, and if you haven't already, because it's never to late, to embrace, hug, admire and love yourself and your very own "human nature."
