046: You Don't Expect Flowers to Bloom All Year, Do You?

rejuvenation Dec 19, 2022

This past weekend, I revisited my favorite location for an acupuncture treatment. During the conversation with the doctor, I mentioned that I had visited Hawaii. In the months since I had last been there, for “whatever” reason, I was incredibly creative after my return. 

Since winter has returned to Pennsylvania, I find it harder to maintain my creative edge. She smiled and replied, "As a creative, you need time to rejuvenate. You don’t expect flowers to bloom all year, do you?”

My wish for you this season is for rest and rejuvenation.

Turn off your alarm. Sleep in late. Go to bed early. Take naps.

Spend time in the company of loved ones.

Take part in activities that bring you joy and fill your spirit.

Perhaps cultivate a garden so you are surrounded by beautiful blooms all year round.
