Sweet Winter Renewal

Winter is finally here and it snowed for the first time last week. The days feel cold in the morning and I’m finding it hard to get out of bed. Maybe my body is reminded that it’s Winter, the season when mammals hibernate. We are mammals right? Apparently bears can go on for one hundred days without needing to eat sleep or go to the bathroom.

I’m feeling grateful tonight reflecting on why I feel so groggy and tired in the morning. We worked so hard this year. It’s like for ten years nothing happened and then suddenly we decided that it would be a fantastic idea to get engaged, married, travel to Australia, quit my job, relocate to a different country and start my own business in eight months. Kind of like the Amazing Race except the race keeps on going. It’s no wonder I am feeling tired.

So for the rest of this year 2019 I’m grateful to finish a few freelance gigs and then shutting it all down to spend time with friends and family, sleep in, take long baths and to really let my body rest.
