Hope

I have been struggling to stay motivated these past two weeks. I want to continue but it feels impossible.

My biggest hope right now is for spring to come. I am honestly holding on for when I can be outside and plant anything and everything into the ground. I just wish I didn’t have to wait. 

Something exciting to look for though is the daffodils are starting to pop up! My husband and I planted them last year and I am so looking forward to seeing those beauties. Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers, aside from roses. I just love their duck looking faces. 

Some of my lavender sprouts are giving me a second set of leaves which is very exciting, and my onions are starting to sprout. I have quite a few seeds to plant tomorrow so that is something else to look forward to. 

I am definitely holding on to that time in the season where I can be collecting fresh flowers and produce for my family. I feel most at home and at peace during that season. And if any of you have grown or foraged for anything, I am sure you get what I mean. 

Sometimes life gets hard and the best thing anyone can do is just keep going and give yourself grace while you figure it out.

Honestly it just feels really hard right now. I am going to give myself space to feel it but ultimately I am going to heal and flame the fire I want to be consumed with. In not so extreme words, I am sad but I will continue to take care of myself. I may take more naps and eat more than usual, but I will grow and move on from these feelings.

Take care,
