Something I really love about traveling is the connection that is created between yourself and fellow, likeminded adventurers.These bonds don’t happen frequently, but when they do, it makes the inevitable hard parts of the journey seem minute. It’s the small, random occurrences in life that make it so special… It’s the little things.
It’s about appreciating a short, but meaningful acquaintance, a snowflake falling on your nose, a baby smiling, a moving song, a good laugh… etc… these are things I’ve been lucky enough to experience lately. It sounds cliché, but it’s the truth! The little things make everything worthwhile.
Everything is ephemeral… temporary. If we don’t appreciate things when we’ve got them, we have nothing! Everything comes to an end—a very simple but difficult concept to grasp. We must learn to let go of a moment and be ready for what comes next—be ready to turn it into something beautiful. That’s what I’ve been thinking about lately… Anyways…
It’s snowing outside. This is forecasted to be the worst winter in Europe in 1,000 years. I had no idea they could measure back that far, but regardless of that, the moral is that it’s going to be a very, VERY terrible/freezing winter. I’m trying to see this white winter as a positive (it’s difficult), but I’ve been thinking about each season and what they have to offer to me… I’ve come to the conclusion:
Fall: Fall is for pondering. It’s for wandering. It’s for simplicity. It’s for crispness. It’s for chatting. Fall is for winding down.
Winter: Winter is for honing in on skills. It’s for perfecting those abilities that you just didn’t have time for in the summer. It’s for appreciating family and friends. It’s for baking. It’s for learning to really appreciate summer. It’s for snuggling and staying warm. Winter is for thinking.
Spring: Spring is for anticipation. It’s for growing. It’s for transitioning. It’s for celebrating and bringing forth the summer. It’s for exploring. It's for moving forward, rethinking things. Spring is for new beginnings.
Summer: Summer is for fun. It’s for adventuring. It’s for getting out of your comfort zone. It’s for excitement. Summer is for freedom.
