Renewal
I know I've been remiss again in writing.
A lot keeps happening in our lives. I had surgery for an esophagal condition and will continue to every 90 days until I have a negative biopsy.
Another great-Aunt (and the last of the 11 children in her family) passed away. I was talking with family members and realized I personally knew someone from her family (her Mom-my great-grandma) who had been born in the 1800's. Her oldest sister, my great-Aunt Velma was born in 1900, and she lived to within a few days of her 103 birthday. So through her family those that I knew, spanned a period of 300 years. Pretty awesome to think about.
I kept thinking about the song "Time In A Bottle" by Jim Croce. I know it's a guy ssinging to his girlfriend, but some of the phrases resonate with me. Like, how you can't stop time and there never seems to be time to do things or finding time to do the things you want to do.
So, with some of that in mind I decided to get back onto my blog.
I need to just quit hibernating.
It's starting to feel more like spring with wonderfully warm days and delightfully long stretches of daylight. Thanks you for daylight saving time.
I love the long sunlit days of spring and summer. Winter and darkness seem to depress me and put me into a hibernation mode. It really isn't good going into turtle and/or bear modes since I'm not either one. I constantly have to fight just to face the day and day to day activities in winter. My poor body just wants to shut down.
I push myself and remind God that I know I'm like Elijah regarding depression and I mightily need His help. I'm prone to being overwhelmed during winter; and for Him to please help me through the darkness and voids I feel. Then when I really, really want to give up, the sun comes out, the dark, ominous clouds dissipate and I feel a renewing of my spirit and a calmness in my soul and spring has sprung.
To me it seems especially fitting for Easter to be in the spring. A time when life begins to renew itself and Christ was risen from the grave.
Hallelujah!
