Hello Gentle Reader,
I’m B-A-C-K…as my buddy AAALLLLVVVVIIIINNNN of the Chipmunks would say!
It has been a very long time…way too long…been a dark dreary couple of years since I last wrote a blog post. I’d almost given up on my website and stopped financially supporting my ability to engage with it and nearly stopped financially supporting my domain name until two weeks ago too!
Frankly I’d given up on a lot. But over the last two months I’ve been using my tools again, tools I had also given up on, let go of, abandoned and am once again engaging in life a bit more fully, healing, and working my way through the darkness.
As I like to say I fell off the horse, the self-care horse and have gotten back up and am learning how to ride once again!
Today for the first time in a very long time I ventured out for my walk first thing in the morning and witnessed the sunrise…it was about 8 degrees. The snow crunched as I made my half mile journey to a spot I could more fully see the sun rise in all of its glory. I heard the stillness of the early morning once again and the song birds welcoming the day…and welcoming me too!
The sun rise is there for the taking every morning…a gift Mother Nature offers me.
Those sun rise walks were my anchor for years. I’ve been adrift for way too long. Today I once again grounded myself in the stillness of the sunrise, bearer witness to it’s awakening. It’s been there patiently waiting for me to find it once again.
“It’s gonna be a bright, bright, bright sun-shiny day!”
What practices anchor or ground you?
