Yesterday, I took another large load to the Good Will. Cleaning out closets, going through old papers and continuing to release the past. It is strange how there is this tear within me. Wanting to hold on yet knowing just like the trees surrounding me..it is a time to let go. Let go of those leaves. Sweeping out the past in preparation to hibernate for the winter. Winter being a time of going within. Time to dream. Reflecting and lying dormant. Quiet. Listening.. Making time to listen within to that still small voice that is calling to us for more in life. More love, more laughter. More recognition of the preciousness of each day.
As the trees, let go of their leaves, the view changes for me. There is more sky to see. Clarity seems to flow more easily through the breeze. I have to admit though that I am not much of a fan of the holidays but that too I am turning over a new leave. This year, after many , many years I am going to put up a Christmas tree. All new lights and ornaments. A new beginning and opening myself up to more beauty.
Now, that I have cleared more things out of my little home, I have more space for new love, new friends, new opportunities. "They" say that change one thing in your life and everything in your life will change. I hope so!
I know that circumstances are fickle..but family, friends, Love and God are not!!
Yep, I am turning over a new leaf.
