Lately my intuition has been telling me to slow down and to breathe. And then yesterday I had another wonderful reminder of that. I really needed it and appreciated it. The days are growing longer now, shifting towards the light. I’ve been looking forward to it. When it gets dark so early it feels confusing to me- where did the day go? And yet I forgot that the darkness is nature’s way of getting us to slow down a bit. Funny I’m now just starting to feel that shift in me as the light is returning, but it mostly has to do with the fact that our busy market season is winding down.
This morning my mom called and she joked: “have you lost your mind this holiday season?” Apparently, I sent my mom’s Christmas present to my aunt and uncle’s address! I was so shocked, I couldn’t believe I’d done that. The addresses are near each other in my address book and I guess I just started jotting down the wrong one. I called my sister: “Did you get a box from me or did I send yours to the wrong address too?” After the initial shock and disbelief wore off –no way I did that– I had to laugh about it. I guess I was more of a flusterball than I thought. Yes, I think slowing down a bit is just what I’m needing right now. We have some more busy days ahead of us, but I want to breathe deeper during them and move more slowly through them. I hope you all will find little ways to slow down this week, during this very full, magical season.
