Almost Spring thoughts.

It’s almost the start of a new month and new season. Spring is almost here! Sometimes it can feel like winter is never-ending. The cold nights, the dark mornings, it can be so tempting to wish time away, to skip forward to sunshine.

And how easy it is to wish our lives away. To wish for the heat of summer during the cold of winter. To wish we were at a different stage in life, that we had made it there already.

I am the most guilty of this. I am often looking forward to the future or dreaming about the past. For me, yoga is a constant reminder to be present, to be here now.

I have to remind myself that life is here too. It is happening in these small moments in between where I am and where I want to be. I have to remind myself not to wish them away. To be right here, right now. That it is beautiful here too.

The beauty of Spring is made possible by the quiet, still, and slow moments of winter. Moments we might have wanted to rush through, but were necessary to get us to where we are right now.
