A mash-up of sunflowers, turning 55, and trying to be still.
I am not going to lie. For the past couple of months I have been struggling with turning 55. Maybe because I spend too much time on zoom and see all my wrinkles. I don’t think we were meant to look at ourselves this much. The world we live in focuses so much on the outer part it is very easy to get caught up in the daily craziness.
Here’s a little excerpt from my daily thoughts over the past few months.
I can only be my best self, and if that means I can’t do all the things I did in my younger days, that’s okay. I loved those days, they made me who I am today. It is important to love the good moments, embrace the bad ones, but not hold on to them.
Be at ease with nature and know that this is a process. I have always cared for my body and mind and as nature changes and evolves, with grace I must follow suit.
Try not to get caught up in what 35 once looked like. Remember, fighting against it only makes matters worse. My advice to me for this coming year is to embrace the grace within and care for my inner self. Ultimately that is where the peace is, so be easy with yourself because when you are in conflict that is never a good thing. Stop this fighting with yourself and don’t try to change what is and move forward with harmony and balance and let those cells vibrate and shine out.
I do think it is helpful to be truthful to ourselves even when the truth feels uncomfortable because then we begin to process it.
Lover and I are off for two weeks of La Dolce Vita on our Italian Sojourn. Finally in my 55th year I am trying something new…packing light.
I hope I have the right shoes! xo,
