Maintaining
a sense of spontaneity can be challenging—at least for me. My
“fruitful” intentions will evidently take some time to mature. Consequently, my chosen mantra for
this holiday season is “take heart.”
Since last
Thursday, our holiday plans have morphed more times than I dare count. We had
anticipated Plan A and Plan B, just not C, D, E, F, and G. So last night, I
found myself silently murmuring, “take heart.”
Maybe I
crafted these holiday napkin rings and ornaments to serve as a physical
reminder of this idiom. They were made from bits and pieces
I’ve scavenged and saved over the years- some are precious, some are not. Many
are connected to a family time or tale.
It’s a
“transition” year (at least that’s what I'm telling myself); and I must remember
it’s not the first, nor will it be the last. I must “take heart”. I must have
faith in what has been and what will be.
This is how
I must tend my orchard.
