| loving taking pictures with sunflare.. they are magical |
I have been very quite these last few weeks and I am coming to see that in November I slow down and instead of wondering what is wrong and why I feel down I am realizing it is a natural feeling for this time of year. The days are shorter and colder and I just want to read a good book under the covers and eat LOTS of carbs!
November also has the anniversary of my Dad's passing and my body holds that memory even if my mind doesn't want to think about it, so this leaves me feeling a bit low also.
Next year I would like to remember this and honour my rhythm of slowing down this time of year by not taking on too many projects that I just won't finish and this way I won't beat myself up for not doing enough.
In keeping with my goal of combining wishcasting with poetry exercising here is my wishcast poem for "What do I wish to invite in?"
Invite in the stillness that comes with slowing down
Invite in the smile when I’m feeling the frown
Invite in the compassion the faith and the trust
Invite in the creative, this one’s a must
Invite in the expansion of an open heart
Invite in the knowing each day holds a new start
I wish all my American wishcasting friends a very happy Thanksgiving filled with love and nourishment and I wish my Canadian friends a happy belated Thanksgiving ;-)
Namaste,
Karen

I've been the same way. BRING ON THE CARBS! Yee-haw! But, if we were all energetic and joyful year-round it wouldn't feel so good and refreshing when we finally felt that way again come Spring. (Don't you love my round-about optimism?) I find I really feel emotions, sensations etc. so much more strongly when I have recently experienced their opposites. So, something to look forward to... 4+ long months from now!
Loving the blog redesign, BTW. xoxo, S.

As Karen wishes for herself, so do I wish for her as well.
good point! I'm having a rough November, and I appreciated reading that.
As always, I can so relate to this:) Hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Karen, it took me a long time to figure out the link between slowing down, going inward, and the loss of my mom. Now I make honoring her part of my annual tradition. As you wish for yourself, so I also wish for you.
