Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. -Author Unknown
While the fall season has always been my favorite, this year seems to be much more of a challenge to enjoy. I have had several major life changes that have caused me to truly prioritize the things that matter most. I am no longer the stay-at-home mom, housewife, homemaker that I have been for the past 15 years. The days I spend at home now seem different, rushed, overly full. Yes, this was by choice, but I still feel the chaos deep in my soul.
On the particular day that I decided to film, my icing was too runny. The wind was just a bit too strong. A large bolt found its way into my tire causing a delay in schedule as well as a frazzled spirit. The uphill battle seemed too heavy to bear, yet there was no other way around it. On the heavy, bursting, and don’t-always-go- my-way-days, I am tempted to give up. To allow the burdens to defeat me.
But, maybe instead of giving up and allowing the weight to crush me, if I choose to seek the beauty in the chaos, to let the unimportant things go, to focus on what really matters, maybe then I can embrace the changes of the new season. Maybe then, I can fully savor the newness of what is to come.
