                            Loving Where You Are  ,,,,

 


I am lucky enough to live 1.8 miles from this lovely beach at Ainsdale (yes, I wear an Apple watch and record every step!)    I walk down there often and blow the cobwebs off.   Having spent many landlocked years in the south,  I am now  happy to call this home.   

Where we are is not  just about what's around us physically, it's also about where we are physically, mentally, emotionally and spirituality with our lives.  All elements which go to make up the whole.

I haven't done a monthly ripple since December.   Winter is a time when I go  'inwards' and withdraw, it happens every year and I have to force  myself to go out some times.  I would love to literally hibernate!  However,  I do  enjoy the season of going inward, taking time to think,  to relax, to be.   We don't always have to  be 'doing,  doing,  doing' .   Everyone  is  different  and dependent upon your age and life circumstances  you make your choices for your  life.    Now that I no longer  have to  work  and  I can give my time  freely,  I choose to do things  differently.   I wonder how much  I 'forced' myself to fit into a pattern that really didn't suit me before but I  had little choice over.

I celebrate  my  birthday this  week and  is always a time for thinking about the coming year and what I  want to achieve.  I no  longer  do New Year Resolutions, it  fits me better to let things evolve and this year I have decided  to learn more  about Astrology.   I have discovered that its not all about sun signs and the superficial horoscopes you read  in the paper, there's a real depth  to  it, so I  am  fascinated, excited, curious and  raring to go.   A  friend is studying it too  so we can have  a weekly zoom and compare notes  and  help each other learn.  I don't  want  to be an Astrologer, I just want to satisfy my ever curious  mind and my overwhelming desire to keep on  learning.

So my questions this  month to you are these: 

*Are you happy where you are - physically,  emotionally, mentally or  spiritually ? 

*Which part of your life may need attention?

*Is there something you want to learn?

*What are you curious about?

Think about them, discuss them  with  your friends and see what comes up for you.   Now we are emerging into lighter days and shrugging off the remains of winter, is it time to look  at where you are now and where you want to be.

Enjoy the internal exploration.   Namaste.
