Glimmers Again

Dear Friends,

My neighbor has this Japanese Maple in her backyard. It makes me happy every day as I get to see it turn more and more red as we move through the season.  Soon it will be a bright red and then the leaves will fall.

A few weeks ago I talked about glimmers…those pockets of goodness and delight that we can train our brains to notice and be aware of.  One of my friends was telling me, the other day, how she always had a hard time with what felt like the obligation of a gratitude practice, but is having a much easier time noticing and being aware of those glimmers in life…it simply feels more accessible.

I think one way we can train ourselves to notice those glimmers more often is to start when they’re easier to see, to notice.  This time of year we have colors cropping up everywhere we look…the yellows, oranges, bright reds of fall are all around us…soon those leaves will be on the ground and the lines of winter will be all around us, but right now, right now we can see and notice colors all around.

My dear friend, I hope you can start to notice those glimmers in your life when they are abundant, so when the abundance starts to fade you can still see and notice them…because, my friend, the glimmers are there no matter what the season so long as we’re willing to look and notice.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista
