Freezing Fog

There are very few things more beautiful than waking up in the morning and seeing a world transformed into a magical wonderland by freezing fog. The hoarfrost on the trees can sometimes be a centimetre thick! That sort of a morning just calls to me to grab the camera and get out there and start taking photos. For the frost won't last long in the sunshine... We've had quite a few mornings of freezing fog and I have yet to really embrace the beauty of it and take my camera outside! Partly because the camera batteries weren't charged one morning... and the other morning, my memory stick was full when I got out there to take photos... Sigh... It sort of reminds me of other areas of my life... where my batteries are too low to enjoy something, or my life is too full of other things to allow space for even one more thing. As with memory sticks... we need to be able to go through and delete those things that aren't serving their purpose, or no longer have a hold of us, or no longer give us life and energy. Sort of a life-decluttering. Because they do all suck energy from us... energy that we need to for those areas of our lives that give us life, that fuel our passion. It seems like sometimes I end up adding a heck of a lot of things to my life and my schedule... but don't actually take anything else away! I can't just keep adding and adding... at some point I need to discern whether this thing, this relationship, this activity, really contributes to my life-fulfillment. If it doesn't, then don't add it... and/or go and prune it!
