It was too darn hot! Here in Palm Springs we don’t have to worry about shovelling snow, but when the weather creeps above 95 degrees, it’s just too hot to think straight.
There were several days in a row of sitting in air‑conditioned rooms. It’s just starting to cool down before it begins to creep up again in the next week or so. Then it’s time to get ready to leave. Overall, I cannot complain, but there are only so many clothes you can take off – and then what?
As usual, the time escapes me too. It’s always like that when it gets close to departure, but for some reason this season seems to have gone by especially fast.
This season was more about enjoying the small moments. There were a few big ones, of course, but overall I felt no pull to chase after anything or insert myself into any circle. By giving things room to unfold on their own, I’ve started to understand what actually feels right for me. Stepping back and letting life move at its own pace has shown me what truly fits. It’s interesting to look at things from the outside in. So far, this is working for me.
I’ve had some really lovely chance encounters this season. A few may grow into lifelong friendships, and a few will fade out naturally – and that feels perfectly okay. I’m learning not to force any relationship, whether friendship or something else. I’ve seen less of the people I used to see all the time, and more of the ones I’m just beginning to know and slowly growing to appreciate and enjoy.
I look forward to a monthly forecast from a website I follow called The Power Path. Every month they share a new word that sets the intention for the month. The theme for March is Upgrade! That feels perfect, because I sense I’m getting a personal upgrade too.
In order to upgrade anything, you must first release what you’re upgrading. If it’s a piece of furniture or an appliance, you move the old energy out of your life to make room for the new. The same is true for inner upgrades – your thoughts, emotions, attitudes, self‑esteem, personal power, and confidence.
You can only upgrade if you unstick yourself from where you are stuck.
An excerpt (link to full article below): The most important is the upgrade of your thoughts, emotions and beliefs. This may require further release and completions of old patterns, cycles and behaviours. If you are not proactive in doing so, spirit will do it for you by bringing in something unexpected that forces you to make a necessary change.
I believe moving forward is the only way to better yourself. I’ve experienced the unexpected – good and bad -that pushed me in uncomfortable directions. But I’ve also learned that the discomfort at first almost always becomes growth in the end.
Speaking of growth, as March unfolds I’m looking forward to longer light (especially since I just found out that British Columbia is moving to permanent Daylight Saving Time – Yay), fresh energy and the first Spring flowers with the gentle reminder that things bloom in their own time.
I’m ready to see what blossoms next. How about you – What are you looking forward to this Spring?
