Bonfires
Hello there all you awesome Wellness Warriors
I am blessed with an awesome husband. He realized I needed 'me' time this afternoon and left me at home while he took the children out. It was so awesome. Quiet, peaceful, calm!
During a rejuvenating run I enjoyed the calm of the dusk, the oranges and purples were really beautiful. The beauty of the stark trees was a reminder that winter is nearly over. I came home and set a bonfire in our outdoor fireplace.
I sat enjoying the fire and the stars twinkling in the dark sky overhead as the planes flew over to come into land at OR Tambo Airport near us. My Labrador sat next to me just keeping a silent watch and offering a companionable paw every now and then.It was very therapeutic.
While watching the fire dance, whistle,move,die, re-spark; I realized- again, that we have to be so careful to keep our batteries recharged and our dreams and goals in front of us. Just as I needed to feed the fire to keep it alive, so we need to feed our inner selves, our inner fire and our dreams. keeping our bodies fed is not enough. We should plan to keep our inner selves fed on a regular basis as well. It is very difficult to give out what is not there.
What is it that feeds you? What feeds the fire of your passion and purpose?Nature?Music?Reading?People?
When was the last time you re-assessed your dreams? the real ones, the ones you put in the cupboard and are gathering dust?
Have a little you time. re-charge those batteries and enjoy your week.
