Now with January over we can really see the days get brighter and the sunrise earlier. At these transition times we need to mind our energy levels, coming out of winter slowdown and moving towards Spring awakening.
The therapy centre flower bed planted as an experiment last year has already starting to show signs of new growth, as you can see in these photos. It is time to get back to it, shake off the winter and move into growth emotionally and spiritually ourselves as well. Lets also bear in mind that thousands of us have had private losses and grief as we went in and out of covid restrictions over two years. As people mix together again and return to the office workplaces, we can be mindful that we do not know what the other has really gone through since March Anyone fortunate enough to not have been bereaved during the pandemic restrictions might now be wondering how to give themselves permission to live in a meaningful way, or what that means, as the world opens up again.
This will be different for everyone. Dare to be different and own your choices, mistakes and growth. Our collective and individual experiences over the past 2 years have helped us realise how quickly our lives can change and how little control we have. Perhaps we can take from that a lesson in paying attention to what makes our life feel worthwhile and fulfilling.
Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it. Maya Angelou. We are closing off another year and however you celebrate and find meaning in this time of year, I hope you have a peaceful and happy time.
Some people get festive with as many people around as possible. Others like to take time out for reflection, processing, letting go the year just lived before turning to enter the new journey into Spring.
