What is your favorite season?  Stop for a minute and think about the colors, the smells of the air, the stirrings of the seasons. 

Is it . . .

  • SPRING . . . new beginnings, growth, hope, chirping of birds, sweet fresh air, planting gardens  
  • SUMMER . . .  sunshine, warmth, swimming, picnics, camping, cold lemonade, watermelon, hammocks
  • AUTUMN . . . golden crispness, changing colors, cozy evenings, bonfires, s'mores, hot cider, sweaters, winter preparation   
  • WINTER . . .  falling snow, frosty branches, snow angels, sledding, shoveling snow, Christmas cookies, carolin

In many ways, the seasons of nature can be compared to the seasons of our lives.  I find that I seem to go through all four seasons in my life just as I do in nature around us.  WARNING!!!   TRY to not stay in one season too long.  Why???

  • If you stay in the Spring season of your life, all you would experience is new beginnings of projects and growth but never get any further.  Spring is filled with exciting possibilities but I'm pretty sure you would want more than just possibilities!  You would want to realize those possibilities. 
  • But then you could drowse in the Summer season and soak up the sunshine and enjoy all the activities that take place during Summer. . . the lazy days of summer!  But eventually, I think you would tire from all the lazy fun summer distractions.  Towards the end of the Summer season, an unsettled feeling would come over you like you were anticipating something. 
  • Could the Autumn season be the season you are anticipating with everything turning beautiful golden hues but only to start fading quickly?  Come to think of it, there is a lot of hard physical work in Autumn!  If you stayed in this season very long, I think you might end up despondent and exhausted. 
  • Then there's the quietness of the Winter season.  After all, the hard prep work is done, things have settled down to sleep, snow birds have left for the southern hemisphere . . . things have come to a halt for a while!  But staying in the Winter season too long might create in you lethargy in work, relationships and your projects.  Also the lack of sunshine is a real thing!!!
