Nothing better than a walk in the snow, to teach you a lesson about with which path to choose…❄️
Today while walking Luna, I found myself looking around, enjoying the snow, and not really paying attention to where I was walking.
At some point, I got present again and realized that I had quite literally been following the exact path of the footsteps laid before me - footsteps which seemed to wobble and sway and meander along the path instead of forming any kind of a straight line.
This got me thinking about life, and how often we aren’t present enough to choose our own path. Instead, we unconsciously follow the path laid before us by someone else (think about it- what we wear, how we do our hair, what extra curriculars we put our kids in, the tranecrory of life - go to school, get married, have kids etc) and thereby we do not end up not following *our own path* (sometimes our own path does in fact take us down the same road as others - and thats totally ok! The difference is concious choice, which can only begin when we re present, aware, and know ourselves well…)
And not only do we sometimes not follow our own path, but we very well may be taking the meandering, windy, twisty path somewhere instead of the most direct route!
Sometimes choosing a new path - or your own path- isn’t easy, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t choose it anyway ❤️
P.s. how cute are Luna’s snowshoes???!!!!! 😂 she definitely chose her own path today!
