6 Ways Your Life Can Change When You Adopt an Optimistic Attitude
This past week I have traveled through farmlands and on freeways, over the mountains, across vast expanses of desert, in the rain, and under magnificent blue skies filled with billowing white and gray clouds. The fall light casts a very different shadow over familiar landscapes. Breathtaking once again.
The wisdom of the forest in its changing colors reminds me that life and things are always changing. To stay the same is to stagnate, to become complacent, to forget about paying attention and caring for and about life, love, and travels.
Sitting on the patio just before dawn as Darby insisted on an early morning outside, I hear the resident owl announce its presence as the sun begins to lighten the eastern sky. Perhaps that was a call to its mate.
I am entranced by the way of the wind in the darkness of morning just before dawn. It whispers of the coming light and of the changing seasons as it blows chilly across my bare feet.
I watch as the sun begins to illuminate the distant hills and the sky lightens. The wind picks up and a hawk soars past on a rising thermal. The quail have come out and the bunnies are foraging, plenty of choice for a hawks breakfast.
Out of the darkness, the light emerges. Much like I would share in a class about the transformation of a thought, a feeling, or an emotion formed in the darkness of an aging wound, the sun brings a new day and perhaps, my recognition and acknowledgment of a distant hurt brings light to it as the darkness fades.
Instead of hiding, covering up or denying the presence of the pain, the hurt, the anger of such emotion, thoughts or feelings, throw the light of awareness all over them, dissect them, pull the pieces apart and let them go. Give them to the ways of the wind and let them be carried away for good.
This winter, we will walk with the Way of the Wind and Soar into ’24. If you have not already signed up on the interest list for this class/course, you can here.
Our virtual gathering will be on December 30th. More info to come, times, cost, bonuses, an in-depth description of what we can all do together to set ourselves up to Soar into ‘24…
As this national month of gratitude comes to an end, I want to express my gratitude once again, for all of you who have joined our circle, read my posts and emails, have bought my books and enjoyed the “freebies” I have offered throughout the year. It is my sincere hope that you have put them to good use and maybe even learned something for or about yourself in the process. Choosing You First is always a wise choice.
I am grateful and I am full of the gifts of Thanksgiving; good food, fun family, great friends and the Arizona sunshine.
Many Blessings to you all as we move through this holiday season and the days ahead praying for peace within and peace throughout the world.
