Changing Seasons

 

    This beautiful tree is a daily reminder to me that I am not the only person or thing going through a change of seasons right now.  Just as the leaves change from green to beautiful vibrant colors I too am embracing the changes that are occurring now and the ones still yet to come.

   Learning to live alone again is going well, in fact I love my new space. It is exactly the environment I needed for the metamorphosis that is occurring within me.  My new space is quiet, serene and has beautiful views of nature that I can enjoy from inside the comfort of my home.  I am NOT an outdoorsy person.  I chose the word metamorphosis on purpose as it means "a change of the form or nature of a thing or person into a completely different one, by natural or supernatural means." My transformation is internal, more mental than physical. It's the rebirth of the person I once was with some new additions based on lessons learned. I firmly believe that we should be on a continuous journey of learning, growing and changing so I am embracing it. 

    I am a work in progress.  Working towards focusing on what I can change within myself, not others. The Serenity prayer is my mantra on the difficult days:


Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity 

to accept the things I cannot change, 

the courage to change the thing I can, 

and the wisdom to know the difference.


    Managing my time between surrounding myself with my circle of family and friends who provide me with the support, feedback and motivation I need to make these changes. As well as the needed time alone to process all of the feelings and emotions that come along with such a major transformation. 

    Winter is the time for rest and hibernation to rebuild for the coming spring and I cannot make any promises or predictions but I'm thinking that something beautiful and refreshed, revitalized will emerge after the cold long days of winter. Stay tuned to see.


Also I have recently published the sequel to Passport Wife which is titled Love Lessons.
