Deep Breath

On the tail end of the month in anticipation of a new one the Summer emits it's thick heat, a daily reminder that mother nature is in charge. Take a deep breath as needed to brace ourselves for another fresh month of day's that mark the calendar with reminders for appointments, deadlines and commitments. 

Our lives are guided by time, the seasons and a particular rhythm that blends into day to day goings on. Sometimes the uncertainties can be scary but we plough through with faith and hope in safe, peaceful ways and means to live according to best practices for going about life. Good intentions, compassion and a sense of fair play and decency help to keep our lungs clear of worldly and negative congestion.

So, yes, breathe, keep cool, try to stay calm and collect. Do take a deep breath when the urge to rage out at life's unfairness is too much. The tragic news as well as the triumphs that evoke tears of joy can be overwhelming. The heat, the task at hand and challenge of keeping positive calls for relief from the dark moments to lean into the light, the joy the fresh air drawn from lungs that would rather take calm, cool times and fill your lungs with peace and gratitude and remind you of the simple pleasure of restoring tranquility even if only for the moment.

Wrap It Up!

Winding down another month. It has been 31 days worth of surprises, appointments and disappointments, good cheer and tears of joy, sadness, exhilaration and on-going grief. 🐾The surprises come out of no where which is what makes them surprising. The appointments include health check-ups, shared meals and pick-up times for consumable goods. The disappointments transcend into humble lessons in patience and timing at God speed. 

We anticipate, look forward to, dread and delight in certain experiences. As the days of our lives unfold, seem to stall out and feel mundane something shifts in a moment, a day, word of something about someone, great news, bad, exciting, compelling. Every single day is part of our travels through life. Every experience propels us to the next thing. It barely happens through each day, the months and years every single moment leads to the next.

Then we look back and ask where does time go as we turn over a new month in the calendar. Here's to wrapping-up another month and making the best of a fresh one.
