Thankfulness Thursday - Progress

So I woke up this morning thinking how life is so NOT a straight line.

It goes in cycles, right ?

You know how you can sometimes find yourself at the apex of something,

where things are flying, the energy is flowing, people around you are on board,

and you just know that you are where you need to be?

And then things change, the cycle turns downward, energy is harder to find,

people withdraw, and you need to come up with a whole new plan ?

Well, once you have done this cycle over and over again,

you would think that you would start to

have faith that the whole thing is going to move upwards again...

My faith needed some boosting this morning...

This journal page shows where I was :

Feeling like I was on the downward spiral...

But really that is okay...

It is part of the process...

Part of making progress...

Finding the faith and the strength and the energy to

create the movement

UPWARD

again....

I went on a wonderful walk to quiet my busy head.

I found a lovely tree that agreed to hold my tags for me until its leaves grow in...

I saw some evidence of how even things that you think are

really solid are impermanent and can

change in an instant...

These beautiful benches in my local park are make of bronze and copper.

The tree falling on it in our recent crazy wind storm created a whole different shape to that metal and wood...

I added my own little piece to the new sculpture...

I walked on and saw the some glorious color, these happy yellow daffodils,

whose winter dormant dreams have transformed into a spring time celebration.

I came home from the walk with some faith restored.

Faith that it is all part of the cycle...

And that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.

I even had enough energy to

pick up a canvas I had started work on last fall, grab the paint

brushes and glorious Goldens and play for a while...

Still a ways to go to be at the apex,

(a detail of where I got to today - more to come as I go...)

but I am learning to have faith in my own movements...

Where are you on your own cycle, Beautiful One ?

Do you have faith that you are just where you should be ?

I wish that for you.

Big Love !
