SEASONS

So I know I have talked about the seasons of our lives, especially with season changes in the climate, but this morning I had a glimpse of the seasons in our lives.  McKye is currently at an overnight camp with the school - crazy at his age, I think I did hyperventilate a little when I put him on the bus - but I have updates from one of the chaperones and pictures which has calmed my nerves - but back to the point... One of the recurring themes in my life - recognizing that I am good enough where I am and who I am right now - I don't have to do everything all at once to be good enough.

So with McKye gone the house has been so quiet - so clean and well really boring.  I've had 2 mornings in a row with no kids and the house is already clean so I really haven't had anything to do - which has totally thrown me off because I usually use these mornings to get a ton of errands and to do list stuff done - and I kind of just don't have anything that needs doing.  So in true Nisha fashion I started thinking I wasn't doing enough - there has to be something that needs done, someone to serve or help.

As I was pondering I had a sweet impression that today is good enough just how it is.  With a small glimpse of what it may be like as the kids grow older and do more on their own I realized that right here and now the most important thing is being there to love and support them- in a few years all the other "service ideas" may take up more of my time and energy - and there will be a season for that.  There will be a time when I can go back to exploring my hobbies and ideas but the season I am in now holds value on it's own and I am doing okay in my current execution of my time.  Small changes and listening to the promptings as they come remain important, but I need to recognize the current season for what it is and embrace it fully without worry about what comes next or the upcoming season - at least not so much that I miss out on the beauties of the current season of my life.

So take a moment to relish in where you are right now - who you influence right now and just breath in a little love for yourself.
