Seasons….

I have been thinking a lot about why I haven’t been writing. I like to write and I find it is good for my being to reflect and write. But I must say that in these last weeks, I just haven’t had it in me. It is not that there hasn’t been a lot to write about. The summer has been full and between wedding and anniversary celebrations, we enjoyed so much good family time. Visiting Angels marked ten years of business and I have many stories about God’s goodness in my life through those days. Today marks nine months since my brother died, and so sorrow ebbs and flows and there are reflections I would like to share about that. It is not that there has been a shortage of life to share….

I continue to appreciate those who let me know that you miss my daily musings. I believe almost every day I have thought about writing, and yet, I didn’t.

And so, I have come to the conclusion that it was a season….seasons
A season of holding things close to my heart…
A season of sorting..,
A season of resting…
A season of growing…

And now I feel ready for a new season…
A season of gratitude…
A season of reflecting…
A season of sharing…
A season of releasing much of what my heart has held…
A season of growing…

I wonder what season you are experiencing in your life?
Are you sorting, resting, growing, reflecting, sharing or releasing?
Are you new to the season or are you ready to transition?

I find great hope in the season picture I have included in this blog. It reminds me clearly that seasons come and go and the transition is part of a beautiful picture of life.
