Winter Anyone?
Well it is in the air.. The coolness, the damp chill. I am not ready for the climate changes. Not ready to have to don my coveralls, wrap my ears in a cap and gloves on my hands to go do the chores. I have grown complacent with the warm summer days, the lazy early fall of semi warmth and nice evenings. I have begun to slowly wan into 'bear phase' of things. Winter, hibernating, regrowth, healing the spirit, all the things that the winter months bring. Preparing for the new birth of Spring. I wonder if I will have time to do the crafts and things I like to do this winter?
The months of winter are long and tiring. We draw upon all the strength we can muster at times just to dredge through the mud, the snow, the ice, the cold, to care for those whom we love, we have a responsibility to. We do this because it comes from a place inside that drives us ever forward. They depend on us, need us, love us back. They are grateful.
I wonder at times about those horses or other pets out there that have no one. No one who would truly give of themselves to trudge through the winter months to care for them. To feed them. They stand idle without food, without warmth, without love. How hard that must be. My heart aches for those who I know will stand and starve, who will possibly cross over due to lack of warmth, lack of love.
How that circle of life comes around. Those forgotten ones will remember. I want to be remembered as one who gave all that she could. Gave from the inside all that she could on the outside.
How would you like to be remembered?
