WINTER IN FLORIDA?
Yes, Winter is here, at the moment. I am enjoying 50 degrees in the mornings; this is great for sleeping! We are fortunate not to have had a freeze or frost, so the vegetation still looks marvelous!
I am returning to writing with the help of Simple Abundance by Sarah Ban Breathnach. This book requires writing a gratitude journal and following a day- book's recommendations for a year that highlights the simple joys of living and discovering your authentic self.
As usual, I am struggling with living in the now; but I am doing better with my "program" in place. I am coming off many months of gathering documents and taking my North Carolina Dental Hygiene Boards--which I passed--Yeah!
So, I am discovering the winter of my content. I am spending a little bit of time being focused; albeit, a blurry focus at that!
Message today=be thankful for the blessings of winter, which allow us to pause a little more often and count these blessings!
Here are some winter haiku's by poet Charles de Lint, to commemorate the recent full moon and to help you feel snug in the warmth of your nests!
Blessing and Great Joy!
Joan
Winter Haiku
by Charles de Lint
Moonlight casts a pale
blue light on the snow, winter
perfect, cold and brisk
Moonlight rides like a
ghost across the midnight snow;
its song is silence
Hello Joan, good post. Also congratulations on getting the NC Dental Hygienes behind you. Come back to NC soon, but beware, We are still having winter. Five inches of snow and it has not melted off my mountain road.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nancy! I am glad to have the footwork for the degree behind me. Take care and stay snug on your mountain! Joan
ReplyDeleteHi Joan,
ReplyDeleteFlorida is a great place in winter if you don't want snow. I loved my vacation down there this winter and didn't even get excited over the snow here this weekend. I love your photos on this post.
