Easing into mornings with no routine – more challenging than one might imagine. No longer having to get ready to go, I’m finding that I feel somewhat lost, confused and a bit off balance. I wake with dread on my pillow, feeling as though there is something I should be doing; some place I should be. Fear follows me; a shadow of myself, observing, worrying, avoiding, stirring old feelings disguised as a safety net. The thing is, I’ve used that net before, it is familiar and comfortable, and it has a GAPING hole in it. And, fear is a liar! To accept it, would be to fall into the net, hang on for a while until my self slipped through the hole once more, a little more battered than before, and needing to recover…again. Or, I can choose to write a new chapter for myself. I can learn to trust. Trust my wisdom – all the answers lie within. Trust the process – have patience, be still, and all will be well. Trust the Universe – trust that life happens for me/us (not to us). Chapter 2 begins…

Happy trails…
