Spring has Sprung

Spring is officially here!

I have been pondering the nature of my life lately. And while I have no definitive answers about what my life means or what I would like my life to mean, exactly, I have had several interesting observations.

One observation that I did have was that I have held onto past references for what my future life should look like. I did this very unconsciously. Needless to say, a serious mental Spring Cleaning is in order! Holding on to those past reference points limits all my future possibilities. Which sort of defeats the purpose of consciously choosing to create my life.

I have spent some time contemplating my need for a buffer between myself and the outside world or myself and certain people in my life with whom I sometimes find it difficult to interact. In the past, I was most comfortable hiding my light, my talents and my abilities. Exposure seemed painful and confusing. Now, I find that many things are far easier for me, much more fun and there are experiences and people that I choose to embrace and bring into my life, rather than hide or run away.

I guess this is just another aspect of maturing. :)

I feel as though I am suddenly approaching my life and my creations with a clean slate. If I put down those old reference points, release the buffers, what do I desire to create now? It seems very timely, this question. And this seems like the perfect time to plant some new seeds!

Good on ya! I just -literally-scattered 3 varieties of wildflower seeds in my backyard today that my land lady gave me. Now, when it rains, I will be grateful it is helping my flowers along.... ('cause I usually don't like the rain much.)

This is a good time...and new things are underway from seeds we already planted. We will be thankful for those flowers, when they bloom. It will mean that we have blossomed as well.
