The rain has been drizzling all weekend and today when it cleared up I started out to see the outcome of all that precipitation. The hills where I live are green as can be with little yellow mustard seeds starting to pop up. The sky is brilliant blue with big puffy clouds moving quickly across the expanse. In all, a beautiful pre-Spring day.
It seems that Winter was extraordinarily cold this year. Not just in regards to the heating bill. Last year was a tough slogging through of stuff we needed to deal with. Relationships fell to the wayside. Jobs changed. Things just seemed to be hard to handle on many levels. We had to deal with the hardest issues that we could deal with. We had to look in our mirrors and see that we weren’t the fairest in the land. It was a tough time, with illness, lack, and hardships leading the way.
But today as I walked in the brilliant sunshine floating from the clouds I thought that this year…2008 was going to be different. It feels as if I, and many others, have shed 2007 like a snake sheds it skin. Left dry, brittle and crackling on the floor 2007 was a year for struggle that lead to amazing insights into who we are. Now with the new year upon us it feels as if everything is about to burst forth just like the flowers on the hills.
I’m ready for that!!! I am ready for my bliss to be my livelihood. I’m ready to see those around me who have struggled be rewarded with following their dreams. And I am ready to set out into the world as a new creature without some baggage that needed to be stored at the bus depot and the key lost. I believe that the whole world is ready for what the earth is ready to manifest. It’s time to change that which we have allowed to be stuck on us. It is time to become that which we had believed not possible. It’s time to take chances. It is time to burst through like a flower that’s been slumbering through Winter. It’s time….
So what are you waiting for? Get ready to shine, support, grow, begin, love, laugh, travel, bask in the sun, bask in adoration, fall in love, begin again, find your bliss, grow your life, be the truth and power of happiness, formulate a path worth taking, and get off that treadmill of sameness that you’ve been walking on all your life. Create your visions for your life and make them real….it’s time now! It’s Spring now!
