Rooted
“To be rooted is perhaps the most important and least recognized need of the human soul.” –Simone Weil
Thanksgiving morning began with the Turkey Trot 5k with my nieces and nephew Emily, Jenna and Mark in 0 degrees. It ended with sixteen family/friends, four dogs, two turkeys and new memories as the holiday season commences.
Many find this season difficult with loved ones who are gone and/or strained family relationships. It’s easy to retreat and hibernate. But if we keep moving and living as fully as we can, we honor those who are not with us by staying in the game. And when rooted by the love and companionship of friends and family, all things are possible, even forgiveness. Care for your roots and plant some new ones this season.
Wow great job on the 5k!!! I love this post! Not carry the burdens of the past drag you down!! Hugz Lisa and Bear
Thanks – we need to live for today.
