It is finally time for a little bit of R&R at the cottage! Alleluia! I’ve been waiting for this weekend for EVER!
It is in a way, a significant moment… a time to purge, let go and heal old wounds. It is, for me, the end of a cycle and the beginning of a new one. Fitting it be where it all started… I will find peace with nature, peace with a past I’ve been holding on to forever and finally peace with my own desires and disappointments. It all starts within. Sounds corny I know, but I am ready for it! And I will put fear aside and embrace love… in every shape or form, in order to move forward.
Being able to move forward takes courage. It is a way to friend ourselves ;) and grow from the past learned experiences. I read somewhere that “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” I’ve adapted to change. I’ve tolerated the unacceptable. I’ve tried to make the best with changing circumstances in me and around me. But have I really grown from those unforgettable stolen moments? I guess not. It is one thing to adapt to change and at some point even accept it. But growing from it involves some introspection, an inner-learning and the desire not to make the same mistakes all over again. Avoiding the patterns. And although dynamics in any relationship require the participation of two separate individuals, it only takes one person to break a bad cycle. But one must be aware of the patterns in order to break them. And so, this weekend, I chose to grow from the seed of deliverance… to find a little bit of peace and freedom. And…I’ll be getting smashed! Great plan, huh!? ;)
Enjoy the up-coming weekend!
Mine has just begun!!!!
