Letting Go...

The end of a season is here... yesterday I was emptying pots of plants to the Earth... saying thank you and letting go of a season that felt like I didn't even really get to witness. I missed most of the spring and summer due to work and even though I planted some herbs and veggies in pots (not knowing if I'd be living at the house all season) it was a sad moment for me, uprooting myself, letting go of the summer that I'd wanted to grow so much more, and being thankful for what I had done. It's been one crazy year. I can't let myself forget that. Things are changing, and who knows what this coming year will present. I have a feeling it's going to be a little crazy as well, but in a much better way. With some unexpected stalls in house hunting over the weekend, I'm hoping to find a place today or tomorrow. I need to- Grandfather is coming to town Wednesday and I'll be busy with things from then until Sunday. Teachings this weekend and rebuilding the Spiritlodge, and Spiritlodge ceremony Sunday. Then I've got to be out of the house next week. So... let's hope for the best. Charley Bubba cat has still not come back yet- I was thinking about him last night and I think he's journeyed on. It was unexpected. I wish I'd said goodbye and thank you when he was here. Last night it got down to 29 degrees. A little bit of ice this morning. The season is changing and I'm beginning to appreciate it more than ever. As much as I'm a warm weather person from southeast Texas, I am appreciating much more the seasons, the differences and gifts of the different times of year. One leads to another and all are important. So... we'll see what's next : )
