The soft pastel days of life.

Today I feel like...soft pastells. I love the pale pink, green, lilac, blue, yellow, apricot...the soft tones of the color scale. Because sometimes we do need the soft, the less visible, the more quiet shades in our life. We don't always have to shout our existens in bright, strong, vibrant, loud colors ~ or voices ~ to be notices. Some days we need to stay in the background and watch. And today is one of those days for me. Today is a soft pastel colored day, a day when I prefer to notice without being noticed, and contemplate life without participate in the action.

Soft pastel days in life are the days when I gather energy and strength and concentrate on just being, instead of doing.They are the days when I make wishes and dream and meditate on the life I see myself create for myself, and my family. Soft pastel days are days for curling up on the sofa, and listen to soft music while I daydream, or flip through an old magazine (yes, I collect some favorites, like Victoria magazine) and sip Green Earl Grey tea. And when the evening comes and the sun sets behind the hills, I light candles and watch the flames flicker and dance ~ and feel energized and calm and grateful for just being.

These days don't come on any special time of the year, they can appear in the summer just as easily as in winter, or spring, or autumn. They arrive when we need them, when we have worked ourselves too hard to keep up with what we believe we have to achieve to be "good". And when we feel one of these days coming on, we need to listen and follow the guidance from our inner true self because she always knows best in this case. 

If you never allowed yourself one of these days, you really should try it. It's a lot better than driving yourself into a state of fatigue and depression because you think you have to do it all ~ at once! And you don't have to call it a soft pastel day either. You can call it anything you like that resonates with your true self and the way you need your lazy day to be. For me it feels like the faded soft pastel colors in the pictures above....and I just love them. 

Take care and I'll se you later...

Love you...
