The Calmness of the Season

I hope your Christmas was wonderful; ours went well. I especially enjoyed, my daughter's concert, she is in the chorus.

I was fragmented, this year....i had been on pain meds for my back. This year, i found myself, standing in stores, distracted, my meds made me drowsy, it was like i was sleep walking thru it all. I am glad it is over....no, i'm glad i'm done with those meds.

I love the peaceful feeling, this season holds, after all the rush, the blur of colors, events and baking. Time to reflect on what i did and didn't accomplish and what i hope to do in the New Year. I love the stillness that winter brings...the time to craft, share and enjoy that cup of your favorite warmth. The time to hibernate, recharge one's battery, before the next season, unfolds.

One always ask, "What is your favorite season?"...as a kid, i would always state the obvious, summer. Later in life, Fall(esp. in New England), but now, i think with all the changes that each season brings, it would be the one we are in NOW. Each one arrives with it's own prescription of the 5 senses. Our vision changes as we grow, as do our thoughts of the seasonal changes, but I hope, i can always remember the beauty of each season and reflect on the good memories made and those to come.
