A misfit winter

People often say we have a winter season of life. But I don’t think it is understood just how many winters we may have to endure in a lifetime.

The four season repeat every year. Winter doesn’t happen once and just stop. The catch is that each winter is different. Some are horrible and some are gentle. And the same goes for the winters in our lives. Some and gentle and some are life changing blizzards.❄️🥶

I am processing that myself. Some years, it seems I have had so much going on that I’d loose my mind😜. Other years, I learned to understand how much worse things can get🫠🤪. For example, being told I had a brain tumor was a rough situation and that year was hard. Can you saw “artic blast” happening in my life! However, being told I needed brain surgery a few years later made that “artic blast” seem like springtime.

My point is, going through the winters of life is something that seems to just be a natural occurrence. As we all should know by now, we cannot stop the forces or nature. My winter season right now has been on-going for almost a year, and honestly, I dont see any signs of a spring. But in nature, spring always come at some point and it brings rebirth and renewal with it. I am struggling with faith about springs return in my life these days, but the natural order has existed since the beginning of time! So, I am choosing to have hope in my spring returning.

Anyone else put there, who seems stuck in a winter, or feeling as if you’re living on Antarctica like me, just keep your eyes open for signs of a thaw, signs of a flower, of hope. Let things go and let what happens happen until you are released from the frigid coldness and the pain artic winds. Maybe one day spring will show up again and that warmth of your life’s summer will be back. And one day you will stand in the sunshine of life again. ✨️
