MONDAY MUSINGS: SEASONAL JOY!

Hi Guys,

How was your weekend? Did you manage to do something that lifted your spirits? Injected a delicious dose of fun into your lives? Indulged in a creamy cappuccino? Had your hair done? Treated yourself to something new? Got totally lost in a new book while wearing your cozy book-reading socks? I really do hope you did something nice for yourself because every time you do, it strengthens your immune system — immunity to the hardships and disappointments of life. You gotta build yourself up! Right?

This past weekend was a cozy one as I started to gradually put up my Autumn decorations. I have a room in my basement which I call ‘Holiday Hall’ lol! In it I keep all my seasonal decorations. I got them ALL covered, starting with Chinese New Year in February, followed by Valentine’s Day when everything is Red! Next there is the Green month, St. Patrick’s Day when I go all green (even in my clothing!!), followed by Easter with its lovely pastels of baby pink, lemon and lilac. A break for Summer as my energy goes outside to enjoy the long lazy hazy days of Summer.

Now, the evenings are getting shorter and the falling leaves have the same colour scheme as my clothing: burnt orange, golden yellow, burgundy, and khaki green. We’re starting to cozy up inside and get the home fires burning. Here in Canada, we’re preparing for the long Thanksgiving weekend which falls around the 10th of October. I start bringing the Fall decorations out as I herald in one of my favourite seasons of the year. Of course, the decorations will intensify for Halloween. I just love Halloween. Always have, ever since I was a child. Must be the witch in me!! I don’t do skulls, skeletons, or vomity stuff! Only Princesses, Pumpkins, and pretty things.

Then there is Christmas!!! A whole chapter in itself, and the whole month of December! God always leaves the best for last! The simple task of moving my home and my wardrobe to accommodate the changing seasons is something that brings enormous joy to my life. Which leaves me with this question. What brings JOY to your life? Whatever it is, do it, because you’re worth it. You really are! Have a great start to the week and be sure to tune in Wednesday to meet my Wednesday Wow Woman!

Hugs,

Patricia xxx
