Hello Beloved, another week gone by and the routine continues. Sometimes the routine is exactly where we want to be. It can be comforting and allow us to the very thing we do best and truly enjoy doing. What happens when the routine becomes something else? It can become something too heavy to bear. Something that seems like just the thought of it pricks our skins like thorns of a rose bush. The potential for beauty is there but all we see are the source of pain.
I know many times we can get so used to the routine we get comfortable with the pain. At some point we just start carrying bandages with us and try patching things up as we go along. It may be the fear of change that starts us down this path. One day though, something happens and our eyes pop open. We run into the thorn that finally crosses the line and we stand up throwing off the weight of the routine that has slowly been smothering us.
We think maybe what is happening just can’t be for real and then in a bit when we step away and start breathing again we realize how relieved we feel. It takes a little time but now we can set about creating a routine that is of our choosing. One that supports our well-being. Some adjustments will need to be made but when we take the time to look back we see the beauty of our lives. Be strong and courageous Beloved.
