The winter holiday season is upon us, and this desert dweller is having a hard time associating it with day time highs of 80+ degrees. I’m still wearing my sandals and short sleeved tops, adding a light sweater when I go out (the AC is still on in stores!). My roots are in the east coast and, if you live(d) there, you know autumn means cooler temperatures and chillier rain and winds.
None of my reference points point to it being autumn. My outer surroundings are unfamiliar, no leaves are changing color, and in fact, plants are blooming causing seasonal allergies! I’m like a computer that loses its history when it powers down and, when it reboots, it has to learn anew without stored websites, cookies, or restore buttons.
I feel so discombobulated!
Have you ever noticed an opportunity, one to look at something with fresh eyes; to not go on automatic pilot about the way things are supposed to be, but instead, be curious? Would you be willing to feel the change and loss of what was, stay to open new possibilities, and welcome new experiences?
It’s what I’m continuing to do, out here in the desert landscape. It’s my inner landscape, however, that I’m letting bloom!
Many thanks for taking the time to read this!
