Entering A New Season

The weather is changing and so is life

Entering A New Season

Fall is finally here (kind of). Today, it was eighty degrees in central Arkansas instead of ninety so you could say it's getting chilly.

Honestly though, my life here lately has been full of new seasons. The weather is changing but so is everything else.

FALL - When I wake up in the mornings to go to work, I can put on a sweater and turn the heat on in my car and that makes my heart happy. I've started seeing leaves fall and change colors and people are finally switching their iced coffees into warm ones. To me, life is better in the fall.

PRESIDENCY - As you ALL know, we have a new president. Donald Trump. There's that.

MOVING - Last month, I moved away from my parents house, and although I'm a month into the move, it's still a new season. I'm still getting used to coming home to other people and having to wait to get into the shower because they're in it. We only have one tiny bathroom in our apartment.

SCHOOL - This is my last month of college for a while. I haven't really publicly said anything about it but I'm finished with my associates degree, and I have no idea what I'm doing with my life so I'm going to take a break for a while.

All of these seasons are changing, and although it is hard to adjust, I'm trying to stay thankful for the season that God is currently putting me in.

"Be patient with yourself. Nothing in nature grows all year."

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
