Preparing for change

Welcome, fellow souls. It’s the season of preparation in the northern hemisphere for the rebirth of planet Earth. It is necessary to shed the old before a period of hibernation from constant growing, and it provides a buildup of strength for the burst of new life in the spring.

You celebrate all the upcoming changes with thanksgiving for what you have received, before you celebrate the birth of hope for the New Year. Yet there is also overcast weather when people become depressed with the perceived dreariness of the season and the restriction of sunlight. They mope around awaiting outside stimulation.

Let this be a time for reflection for you. Make time to be with yourself, cleaning out doubts and fears, and taking an inventory of whatever changes you can make in your thinking in order to be always in the sunshine of happiness.
