I am having one of those moments, one of those stages of life, where change needs to occur.
Where the current plan is feeling a little dull, a little dry and a little cracked.
Trying to mend the cracks is exhausting and not making me happy.
Trying to catch the pieces that are starting to fall off and flake away is hard work.
So I have decided to let them drift away. I am letting them fall.
I am letting myself crack and peel.
Right now it feels hard and sad.
Very soon I know it will feel refreshing and freeing.
You see, when the paint starts to crack and peel it is time for a fresh coat.
A new coat, painted any colour you like.
A smooth, even, bright coat that will make you happy.
I am currently letting those old paint chips fall in preparation for a new coat.
I am going to paint it a bright colour.
A colour that makes me feel happier and more inspired to live life.
I don't know what colour to paint it yet.
That is part of the journey, part of the process.
But, I am moving forward searching for that colour.
Maybe it will be blue, maybe it will be green, maybe it will be a rainbow.
I don't know yet.
But, I am looking forward to finding out.
So happy to see you're brighter than yesterday. It's something I'm sure all bloggers go through, but knowing that doesn't make it any easier. I look forward to seeing your fresh coat of paint
ReplyDeleteXxxx I surrender to it when I feel like this. I surround myself with all the things I need. I reflect and some how some where I find my color again. Xxx
ReplyDeleteI think there it can be so liberating to just allow yourself to feel - the bad stuff as well as the good!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to your 'shedding' and your metamorphosis xx
You can't see it at the moment but you have this orange aura around you. You always have.
ReplyDeleteNaomi it is wonderful to read that you are letting the old paint fall away and are getting ready for the new coat to come.
ReplyDeleteCant wait to see what colours you choose.Whatever colour it is it will be YOURS,chosen by you,for you.
That is how it should be
Big hugs xx
Your writing is so inspiring I don't think it matters what topics you chose. Yo are real and passionate that is all that matters.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Naomi and I look forward to seeing which colour(s) you choose :)
ReplyDeleteHi Naomi...getting the old paint off and sanding up those boards makes the place look brand new when the fresh paint goes on. Taking the time to nourish your spirit refreshes a person from the inside out...remember Mary and Martha...choose the better part. Sending you lots of hugs...oooo
ReplyDeleteHi Naomi, I'm new to your blog, I came over via the lovely Jane. Have a lovely Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely gift with words. Your post reminds me of the butterfly breaking from the cocoon. I'm sure the next metamorphism of your life with me as glorious as the butterfly.
ReplyDeleteOh Naomi. You gorgeous girl. I agree with Kirri - I'm looking forward to seeing the butterfly emerge. J x
