Signs of Spring
We bought tulips a few weeks ago and they are still alive on our porch. I also am noticing small signs of life everywhere from the trees producing green buds to the days that are so warm we need to open the windows. I am loving spring.
Habits
This season has proved tough in ways I did not expect. I am finding that my habits are kicking in and I am taking it slow, going back to what I know and accepting those small changes week by week to find my way back to myself. I did not realize how much my habit had changed me until recently.
Meditation
In this odd season, I have had moments of stress and anxiety. I am finding that meditation is a habit I have cultivated that is helping me through the challenge. I find just sitting and realizing the impermanence of my thoughts gives me hope and faith that everything is as it should be.
Daily Writing
I write in numerous forms. I journal, I write things I am grateful for, and every weekday I type 1,000 words for myself. I am finding that the last of these practices has been extremely life giving. I notice on days when I do not type my words my mind feels more frantic and I feel overwhelmed more easily. The words I write are for no one but myself, but just having a space to think and get my thoughts out I often find I am able to be much more reasonable in textual form than in the thoughts that circulate in my head.
Alexander Hamilton by Ron Chernow
I have started listening to this on audio this week and I am loving it so much. I find the topic fascinating and it is holding my interest even though it is detailed and somewhat long.
