A change in seasons sometimes brings about changes in character, moods, and dispositions. Just as “Spring Cleaning” marks the airing out of what’s been closed up all winter. It’s a preparation for the summer breezes, flip-flops, and fruit salads.
In life this similar preparation occurs. “Spring Cleaning” in one’s life is getting rid of the baggage of the Winter Season of your life. You shake off the dust that’s collected on the throw rug of your emotions, hang it out on the Line of Courage, and beat it until all the years of abuse, frustrations, and disappointments are gone with the wind. You wash down the Walls of Inferiority and prepare them for new artwork. In place of the old, beautiful framed works of Stability, Encouragement, and Faith hang in their places. You stand back and admire them proudly, knowing the Creator of these works is still working on you.
Fall has become that season for me. I’m starting with one room at a time. Getting things in order has been long over-due. The Summer of my life has passed and it was truly hot. Steamy and long were the days causing slight confusion and anguish in the halls of my mind. It was all part of “The Plan”; lessons were taught and some were learned. Did I get it all? No, but I’m catching up.
I’m smiling now as I sit in the park and the crisp winds of Autumn tickle my ears. The scents of accomplishments drift along, the aroma so strong I can almost taste them. I can hear songs of Victory softly playing in the distance…I’ll dance now anyway.
