I cannot believe that the first week in September is long gone and that means that Summer for most of you is coming to an end and fall is beginning. All the fun Summer vacations have come to an end. Everyone’s kids are back to school at this point, and you all have to get back into your normal routines again. For us is the opposite. The cold Winter months are still lingering. Some days are nice but most are windy and cold.
I remember those days when it was sad to have summer playtime behind us – facing the end of our little break from the norm and our time off and playing out in the sunshine. But in other ways there was also something very comforting about getting back into a normal routine once again and where we have a little more consistency and more of a normal schedule to follow.
The hardest part for me is having an empty house for the past nine years. It’s sad to have the house be so quiet. I miss not having any family near us for so long.🙁
It seems everything in life is in seasons, and with the end of each season comes the beginning of the next. Letting go of the past season is often hard and makes you sad because you don’t want to let go of the good things that came with that season…and the only way I know to cope with that sadness we go through when that happens is to try and consider all the wonderful things that the next season might hold and then focus our thoughts on that each day instead.
And so, as we head into Spring we can focus on things like going to fun outings to museums, eating out and shopping around our neighborhood. There are so many vendors walking distance from where we live.
And when it comes to ending one season of our life and beginning another….well those can be a little tougher on us than going from summer to fall…or Winter to Spring but nonetheless we have to try and focus our thoughts on all those positive things that this next season of our life will bring to our lives.
That, and always believe that the best is yet to come!
Con amor,
Vero
