Setting Intentions

I’ve struggled the last few days.

Struggled with being tired, overwhelmed and feeling a bit lost. The transition between seasons can sometimes be hard for me, especially the winter to spring transition here in the north. It takes forever sometimes!

I went to sleep last night with a vision of what I want to see today, and woke feeling energized and ready for the day. Before my toes hit the floor this morning I held in my heart the same vision took a deep breath and started the day.

This is a practice that always helps me re-center, and it is also a practice that falls by the wayside each winter as I snuggle into the simpler, calmer days of that season. So along with my daily visualization, my aim is to follow this feeling of levity to help me carry the practice each night and morning to help me stay centered.

And today, low and behold, we had a wonderfully calm day.

With the exception of some anxiety from my eldest about his volunteer work, the day went by much smoother than the last few days. We lit our candles, said our new verse, continued our language block reviewing name, doing and colour words using a St Patrick’s Day story they wanted to hear again. My son wrote his summary, underlining the name/doing/colour words after he completed the story. My daughter created an illustration from the St Pat’s story and created word lists. It was SUCH a calm main lesson, it filled my heart knowing that even when we get off course, I can take a breath, pull the sails and captain the ship back on course.

And tonight, as the sun sets and a new day prepares to creep over the horizon, new hope has filled my heart that tomorrow, I’ll feel my footing again ❤
