Alone



 
 
After months of little alone time, I grabbed a couple hours last week.
 
And it created space {in my head, heart and soul}. Space for me. To think {for just me}. To be. To walk alone, and at my own pace.
 
I hadn't realised I needed it, until it arrived.
 
This week I found myself alone again. And then I consciously decided to create a little more space, just for me.
 
And in that two hours of time alone, I let my head stop spinning {by waiting patiently for it to rest}. I gathered my thoughts, goals, dreams and words. And created a plan.

And I found clarity and energy and goals redefined. 

I decided on what I most want. {And I decided to let a couple things go}.
 
I saw my dreams {and they looked like they just might soon be a reality}.

I meditated. And listened to my heart.
 
I gave thanks for the parts of me that never change: an eternal optimist, a heart that loves to love, a body that heals, a mind that dreams and a soul that believes in today just as much as tomorrow.

What are you most grateful for this week?

  7. This is lovely Elisa.
    I'm loving seeing what so many people are grateful for, and alone time is way up there in my opinion! We just don't get much of it as mum's do we?
    I'm hoping to start meditating this year. I tried the year before last, but as I couldn't do it until after dinner when my hubby was home after work, I just kept falling asleep. This year my youngest starts school, so I'm hoping to try in the mornings :)
