Autumn. While there's a shift with every season to the next, autumn can often feel more...profound. There's a lot of introspection, along with everything that might bring. Satisfaction and regret for two.
I look back not only over the past year, but the past fifteen, maybe twenty...maybe the whole shebang. So much has changed in my life. And you know what? It's not slowing down. At this point, I'm all about coming to terms with what is and being grateful for my blessings. There are far fewer years ahead than behind me. There's so much I'd like to set right, so much I want to understand, to express.
I think I used to write more about my "trials and tribulations". I tend to keep that somsewhat private now. I don't know why...maybe that will change. But everyone's got stuff, you know? It should come as no surprise to anyone that struggles are universal. And my struggles? They're small potatoes. I have nothing to complain about.
There's a shift going on in me right now. It has to do with physical stuff and mental stuff. It's not always comfortable. But I'm choosing to look at things with curiosity and know that I can care for myself. And know that even deep within this very flawed little me, there's some kind of wisdom to access.
