Life can often bring us disappointment. You may not have gotten a gift that you expected. Someone may have let you down. A plan didn’t work out just as you had hoped. These life situations don’t always happen for the best, but they do happen for a reason.
When our computers or mobile devices are filled with too much data, they can stop working. When our homes or workspace have too much clutter, it leaves little, or no room for us to bring in anything fresh or new ~ so goes the same with your heart.
Spring ~ what a lovely time of year. All of the trees and bushes that have lost their leaves, begin to bloom again. We are reminded of “newness.” Flowers start to blossom ~ again ~ we are reminded of “newness.” The weather starts to warm, and the snow melts.
Each and every morning that we open our eyes is truly a blessing. It’s a chance to begin again. The day is filled with new choices that bring us opportunities. Each day is an opportunity for us to become aligned with our values.
As the year winds down, we find ourselves with time to reflect. I believe this is a necessary process for us all. This is the perfect time to take inventory of our lives and set forth achievable goals for the New Year.
For me, I would say this is a most humbling time of year. As the year is winding down, we make time to spend with those we love most. It’s a time for sharing. A time to express gratitude, for all that we have and all that we are.
Karma, we all have the tendency to think that it’s “payback” for an act that somehow, we will be punished for. We are taught to believe that everyone “gets theirs,” sooner or later, prompting us to be mindful of our behavior and the choices we make in life.
Our emotions are not just a simple matter of the heart. On the contrary ~ they are quite complex. Some people are very quick to show their emotions, the ones that are at the surface. Negative emotions may include ~ but not limited to:
Here are some positive emotions, also readily available to surface ~ such as:
Again, these are just a few emotions that are most often easy to surface.
There are times when we find ourselves with no one around, just sitting quietly. Ahhhh…for me ~ I relish and embrace that quiet time, due to such a hectic schedule. Then there are those who may find themselves board, tapping their feet, looking for something to do.
As we soon approach Fall or Autumn, we can feel the crispness in the air, and we see the leaves begin to change colors. Soon they will start to fall away from the branches. The summer fruits and vegetables that we have enjoyed are no longer available to us.
