Morning Musings
.... I was just sat on the deck with my cup of tea, breathing in the morning air, and enjoying the warm sun on my skin. My intention had been to gather my scattered thoughts, catch my breath, slow down my breathing, and to relax my nervous system... I wanted & needed focus, direction, self belief as a new college student, and motivation. I began to allow the non-directed words to fall out of my mouth in my morning prayer, not knowing what they would be.... they began as a slow "I am a mother, a sister, a daughter, a wife...' and then I stopped... unsure, surprised, and a little jottled inside... I said the words outloud again.... feeling into each person, each role, each gift... and that's when the tears sneaked up on me, and I allowed the big ugly tears the space to be heard and witnessed and held, in the energy of love. Conversations & tears with Mum and Dad, telling them how much I miss them, and again now as I type these words! How much I love being a Mum and a sister, and the delight and joy of both gifts. And being a wife to my husband, and being/doing my best as a team, together in life, working through all the stuff in this crazy world, together. I sat with all of these emotions and thoughts, and allowed myself to feel it all... deep breaths as I did so.... It was a good reminder for sometimes just to sit.... and allow the self to breathe, to pause, to feel, to remember who we are. A reminder that we carry a lot! Allow yourself a few moments to put everything else down, and to pause... to ponder.... wonder... a chance to get grounded within....
🩷 head up, chin up, and breathe.... I see you, I love you, I thank you, I'm proud of you.... 🩷
✨️ a very dear friend used to remind me ~ "strong back, soft front" ~️ I love that it just popped into my head again. May you sense this too ✨️
This was a long post in this age of rushing! If you made it this far I thank you, may you be blessed with soft moments of remembering, understanding, kindness and joy ######
