Simple and Serene Living: Transformation on a Thursday...creating new beginnings

Transformation on a Thursday...creating new beginnings

Welcome to Transformation on a Thursday. I am devoting each Thursday to a positive affirmation or to inspirations in my life. There are so many ways we transform ourselves. It may be through meditation or prayer, by taking a class to learn something new, by involving ourselves in public service, or even changing something in our homes.

Today was the last day of my 21 day meditation challenge. It has been a wonderful experience and has gotten me into the habit of starting each morning with a meditation. It is a time for centering myself for the day ahead.

Throughout my life I have spent a lot of my time trying to fix things that were broken......relationships, career choices. decisions.......all things that have somehow gone wrong. I have learned, though that...

Isn't it wonderful that we are never too old to start over and create something better. As we go through our lives we are constantly learning and accumulating knowledge that we can use to make positive changes.

Yesterday I talked about the changing of the seasons. You can read that here.

Although there is a certain sadness that comes with the ending of summer, I do always feel that the start of a new season also brings about thoughts of moving ahead, of making changes in my life.

So as the leaves begin their slow change into Autumn

I too am inspired to make changes.

For me September always feels more like the start of a new year than January does. It is a good time to make changes.

Yes with Summer on its way out there are definite changes heading into the next season / month etc. Have a great one and may the transition be smooth. Nice to see you around my place again. ♥

Me, too, Laura. Fall really does that for me - wants me to make changes and ready myself for the long inside season we have here. It is a time to finish up warm weather projects and prepare-just like moving into the Autumn of life- xo Diana
