Spring is Coming!
Spring is right around the corner! It maynot seem so given what you see outsideyour window but nonetheless it is true. Just because you cannot see the changes going onunderneath the surface of the earth does notmean they are not occurring!Much like your life immediately after divorce,you cannot see what the future holds in storefor you butthere are opportunities and possibilitiesawaiting you. When you are in a great dealof pain, confusion and anxiety you are leftwith a very limited ability to see the big picture. It is only when some time passesand you have done the work of divorcerecovery will you begin to see that springdoes come again and your life still holdsabundance and promise. Your Spring willcome again.
Use Spring as a Starting Point:
The Vernal Equinox Spring arrives 20March, 11.41 GMT (Greenwich Means Time). As the earth is tilted so that
the sun is directly over the equator, this signies the start of the vernal
equinox. This time of spring has been celebrated over the centuries as the beginning of the rebirth period. The Spring Season is probably one of the
most embraced and most signicant of the seasonal changes, for it denotes
the start of new life, regeneration of nature and the renewal of the spirit.

I can feel it coming. I’m sitting here eating steamed vegetables and barleyversus chocolate. I just picked up the sleds and winter leftovers that have been lying around the outside of the house for the past three months. It’ssunny and about 40 degrees (which ain’t too bad for New Jersey in earlyMarch). I can feel a change coming on. I don’t fool myself into thinking thatMarch won’t unleash its fury but nonetheless…I ‘m getting ready!Spring is a metaphor for divorce recovery so utilize it as a ceremonialentrance into the next phase of your life. Your life can bloom again invibrant new colors. A landscape that appeared cold and barren can erupt into
a celebration of life. Make a commitment to reect spring in all its glory in
your own life!
Spring Inspiration:
A friend of mine sent me this link for a little bit of inspiration during thesevery tough times. I enjoyed it so I wanted to share it with you. Go to: http://www.lshs64.com/enjoytheride.html
Tough Times
We Americans, and the rest of the world for that matter, are experiencingeconomic hardships that only people of the depression era can comprehend.We are in for a huge shock, economically, mentally and spiritually. I think that the next two years will be much worse than what we are feeling rightnow. How do we cope?I think that those of us who are willing to fully accept ‘what is’ will fare better than those who still are looking for what ‘should be’. It’s a basic tenetof divorce recovery: the acceptance of reality as it is versus a fantasy of what we think should or could be. If we truly accept this new reality that isdiametrically opposed to how we have been living for years, then we will be better equipped to handle what is coming.I do not want to diminish the hardships that so many of our fellow citizensare experiencing. Far too many people will lack the basics of food andshelter. Part of accepting and understanding that new reality will be acoming together so that we can protect our most vulnerable. Knowingexactly what is coming down the pike will better prepare us to handle our  problems more effectively.What I am hoping for in this environment is similar to the lessons impartedto us from the experience of divorce. We suffer and then heal and evolve
