It's time to wrap up Winter
I don't know what the weather is like at the moment you are reading
this but, as I am writing this, it doesn't seem that Spring is too far away! Many of us are already thinking about gardening
even though we know we can't put the seeds in the ground for a few months yet.
For me personally it is kind of hard to stay in the now of life, in part because of the work
I do. I basically live in 3 different months at a time. As I write this column it is February but it is for our March issue,
and I have to announce anything that might be of importance for April now or it might not get enough time to flourish. I can't
tell you how many times I have wanted to change/add something new to the Hedra paper layout at the beginning of a year or
even the beginning of a new season, but every time it sneaks up on me and its too late to make it happen....so, let's back
up to now, to the current moment.
We won't have
much longer to fully enjoy our indoors, hibernating, recouping time. I say let's take advantage of it while we still can.
It's a good time to finish up all your indoor projects, finish reading that book, and wrap up the current process of ending
the old. Finish that puzzle you started two months ago, cut and nail up that trim around the window. I know it's March already
but New Year's was not that far away...have you finished what you wanted to in 2009? Or do you still need this time to get
things in place for 2010?
Is the inside of
your home in order so that when Spring is truly here you will have already gone through your closets and pulled the old things
out to give away or have a yard sale with? Have you started Spring cleaning indoors yet? Does your living room need a new
coat of paint? Whatever it is that is unfinished from before Thanksgiving....get it done now!
Soon we will be so busy outside that these things will get pushed aside and
we may feel that time is moving too quickly. It will help you enjoy Spring even more if you take care of the things that are
unfinished from Winter now.
Work on living in
the current season, yes prepare for the next coming season, but don't just give away the time you have left in the current
one. There is still time for bonfires and hot chocolate, for journaling and writing letters, for being still and connecting
with your feelings. There is still time to nurture & rejuvenate your soul, to finish up what you didn't get to yet. Take
the time now.
Not to mention that some
of these things will get you into shape for all that weed pulling and dirt moving when Spring does finally arrive.
Have a good March and be well my friends!
