Noticing Possibilities

Fall is one of the seasons where change is visible every day.  Each morning I look at the woods out back. I notice more leaves changing color or being released from the branches. Nature is preparing for next. It does this slowly by transforming the display and letting go of the excess. 

I respond to nature’s cue as my personal inspiration for change. What are the things, both physical and emotional that are weighing me down? What can I let go of? What will lighten my doing lists? What can be removed to ease life’s challenge of maintaining the stuff?

Soon I’ll make my seasonal clothing switch. That will give me an opportunity to let go of the pieces that no longer fit or won’t be worn. I happily imagine the full giveaway bags leaving my home.

It’s not just the physical things that need attention, there are the emotional stressors too, like the guilt over what I didn’t do, or what I should do. I’m working on letting go of the “shoulds" and focusing instead on the wants and possibilities.

As the seasonal changes nudge us to act, what possibilities are you noticing for you?
