A New Day Dawns A Time of Stillness
It’s a new day, it’s a new time, it’s a new start. The weather has cooled down a bit, the fires near us are out, we even got a few sprinkles last weekend. I’m inhaling the rarity of fresh air in the Central Valley and so grateful for it.
Last Sunday was National Grandparents Day and I know for myself, my grandchildren are one of my greatest joys. Being present with them is often exhilarating and sometimes exhausting, especially when we’re swimming, as the little rascals have gotten big enough to swim faster than me, or I’m slowing down.
Our time together is honest and it’s real. It is fun and full of stories. It is my legacy living in my presence and it is love.
Maria Schriver wrote as she talked about the passing of Queen Elizabeth, “My experience as a grandmother has reminded me yet again that life is such a mixture of emotions. I’ve come to realize that wisdom and gratitude comes when one understands that on any given day, we can experience both tears of joy and tears of sadness. That’s just what life is.”
That is so true of my last few weeks, joy and sadness, loss and love, exhilaration and exhaustion, overwhelmed and optimistic.
Change is never easy and I tell myself to stay present in the moment, to learn, to give myself permission to grow with change and not battle against it.
This past week has been a reset for me. A time of stillness, of sleep, of planning and of dear friends reminding me I can, that I just need to practice what I preach. 😀
What I do know for sure is that my world is changing, and I am getting ready: ready to step up and step into what lies on the path ahead, wholeheartedly and with joyful anticipation of the new experiences.
May you all find your journeys filled with joyful anticipation as you navigate each new day, in a new way, as your authentic self, remembering to put you at the top of your priority list.
