It's important to know what season you're in.
I'm not talking about the weather/climate/time of year. I'm talking about your life season. And that's not your age but which part of the undulating timeline of life that you're in. We all go through springs where we seem to sprout up in all directions. Summers, where the growth continues steadily and fruit starts to set. Autumns where we harvest, followed by winters where we rest and prepare for new growth.
It's important to know what season you're in because if you're expecting to gather fruit, but really you're in winter, it can feel like you're doing something wrong, that you're missing something. You're not. It's just that your expectations are misplaced. If you know that you're in winter then you're not expecting growth, because winter is the time to replenish reserves and prepare.
So check what season you're in and take stock.
And here are some more of my limited colour palette experiments.
I'm loving your limited colour palettes, Tracy; that first one is stunning. And your reflections about the seasons of your life are right on...expectations can be so easily misued!
ReplyDeletePesky expectations! Let us live in expectancy rather than with expectations.
