My Season Has Just Begun

03/10/2016 (Thursday) - 4:51 PM

 

The colors of Spring are making their way back.

Bright colors, full of light, full of energy, full of passion.

The smell of sweet aromas sneaking its way through the blooming flowers.

Branches filling trees with bright green leaves, some with blooming colorful flowers.

 

The sunlight piercing through my window blinds, begging for light to enter my bedroom window.

My eyelids flutter open and I jump out of bed to open my curtains wide and turn my blinds open.

I can feel the sunlight hit my skin and it feels so, so good.

 

While the coffee is brewing I throw on my sundress, brush my teeth and wash my face and pick up my bible.

 

I read my bible verses out loud to my God and ask him for His favor.

I then ask Him to protect my loved ones and continue to provide me strength as I continue my journey for continued mental and spiritual healing and growth.

 

I take my hot coffee and my journal with me and sit on my porch, taking in the fresh morning air of the spring breeze.

Mindfully, for six seconds I take long deep breaths,  holding them in for five seconds, then exhaling for six seconds.

 

All the while conscious of my breaths, the sounds of nature, and how I am feeling.  Just for this moment, this very moment.

 

After I do this repeatedly five times, I am very much at peace.

 

I open up my journal and read to myself my daily affirmations.

I must tell myself things I like about myself.

It is always easier to say what I don't like about myself and that no longer works for me.

I must like and love myself before I can receive love from anyone else or give love to anyone else.

 

Now, it is time to write down my gratitude list.

There is so much to be grateful for.

I have to remind myself of this daily so that I keep it all in perspective and never forget when it becomes too good or too bad.

 

Then, I write down what inspires me to do and continue what I am doing for today.

For me, I am thankful everyday.

Everyday I am alive is another day I have been inspired, and I have to remind myself what has inspired me.

 

So, my season has just begun.

Everyday is a new day.

 

As of today I have not realized the purpose I have for why I am where I am at this very moment, but what I do know is, my purpose has yet to be served, so my season has just begun.
