I hope you filled it carefully

There is a natural gentle pause to this time of year.

It’s a holiday, vacation, calendar combination that gives you just a little more space.  

I hope your pause has been loose and lazy . . . slow . . . sleepy . . . light . . . playful . . .

I hope you filled it carefully.

I hope you have the discipline to hold onto what you received.

Maybe the renewal of rest

or the energy from connecting with others.

The clarity you gained from distance,

The softness that comes when time doesn’t feel scarce,

That becomes a kinder more capable way of being.

The way we want to be always

and can be

when we have the discipline to pause.

Blessings in the New Year,
Amy
