Change of scenery

When was the last time you had so much going on, inside and outside you wanted to go back to bed, pull those covers over your head until it passed? Sometimes, a change of scenery can be helpful in offering alternative perspectives, to help put them in better order.

A couple of weeks ago, I decided I can use that change. I visited with a friend for a couple of days. Her loving perspective and that fresh air helped me to ground and put things in a different light. Have you felt that before? Going to another place that takes you away? That sacred space? Being by the water was so pleasant. I also was gifted to meet a friend of hers and we connected right away. This opportunity to do some more healing was a blessed time. I felt a lot less disjointed and peaceful. My friend also urged me to look at things from a different view and to look at my sticking points so I can move forward to heal even more.

Another friend gets away to her sacred space from spring to autumn and puts to rest all those things competing for attention. She becomes brighter.  I appreciate that kind of glow.

Taking some me moments can be helpful. When I walk, it gives me time to process some things I have been sorting out. Which way is better than the other. Which decision will be the best fit for me while weighing out the pros and cons.

I look forward to returning. With my life going at a fast clip in many directions, I can use this opportunity to breathe and sit in presence. Gift yourself with the time away, even for a few hours, whether it is just sitting in silence by the lake, river or the trees in your backyard or visiting with a good friend who lovingly hears you without judgment. Our hearts and spirits grow with this kind of love.
