Shades (Seasons) of Life

avatar
(Edited)



Life has many colors and seasons.

Well, that's what I think anyway. Some days, it is lush, colorful and bright. There is mostly cheer, joy, laughter, happiness, bliss - everything well and good.

Don't we love those days?

At times, the outlook becomes dull and gray. This is when we feel less energetic and we lose interest in things, a bit lackluster. It's when some people say 'Oh, life is boring.' I don't remember the last time where I felt bored. (That sounded more like a lie than truth, lol!)



On other days, it turns a lot darker and it gets stormy. This is the time when there is trouble, anger, turmoil (within and without), sorrow, or grief even.

Most of us do not like such a season, yes? Although in certain times, such a shade in life can teach us great lessons - when we usually discover our inner strengths that we do not know existed. Or it's where we find beauty and goodness amidst the chaos.



On some occasions, days turn a bit more hopeful. Aah, those can be cool, yeah? Life gets better at such times!

There's light at the end of the tunnel they say... and surely, there is!



Oh la la! 'Nuff of that. I'm rambling again. Lol! What the hell are you thinking? Well, those are just some of the seasons in one's life that came into this gal's thoughts when I woke up so early (2:30 am) today.

The farm boy and I are at the hospital. We came here yesterday afternoon, playing nurses to my old man (father). The very reason why my equilibrium has been shattered a bit. Guess I was just so worried that my mental state got so confused.

The good thing is, there's a simple cure for that.

And that would be a walk in the woods. Unfortunately, there's no jungle around here so writing and letting out these messy thoughts plus re-living a previous hike through photos might help.😅



Except for the sunset, all these photographs were taken during an impromptu hike that the husband and I had not so long ag, when the downpour gave us a break. There were greens, a dash of colors, and yes, mushrooms too!



Now, I can shut up before I spout more nonsensical stuff, lol!

Kidding aside, there are a few people coming to visit Dad so I'll be off my laptop soon!

Happy Saturday, everyone!

And remember, whatever color (season) you might be in at this time, trust that it will change. When you're in the best of shades, make the most out of it, and savor the moments. When in the darkest of times, hang in tight, that too will come to pass.

I hope your father will get well soon. I've been in those dull and gloomy seasons recently, also because of my father's health condition. He's been battling with cancer.. We're just hoping for brighter days to come to him.. And to your father as well..

Happy weekend !LADY

This is so lovely, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us while you were at the hospital. I will be sending out some well wishes for your father. It is not quite the same, but I have been thinking about seasons of faith lately. We all face certain times where it wanes a bit, or maybe it feels like it has abandoned us entirely. And then there are the precious moments where it burns so brightly, that it can illuminate even the darkest of days. I love the idea of thinking of days or weeks as colors, and then you get to see what color it turns into after being mixed with your faith.

Happy Saturday and I hope your father will be fine very soon.

To be honest I thought you were discussing about the weather and how it changes with time while started reading. After a while, I realized you were saying both life and weather and I also feel the connection between weather and life. The situation will change and it's the nature of life and weather for both cases.

The pictures are so beautiful and every season too are beautiful, I like how you liken each season to each phase we face in life and how we can learn from them.

Good job!!

All the best wishes for your father’s health and recovery.
As you said the seasons of life come and linger but they will go. Inevitably they change. Time is the judge and we cannot help but going with the flow - knowing that some things we can change but other things we have zero control over.
Beautiful photos.

That's right, seasons changes, we just have to keep appreciating whatever season we are in because there will come a time when we would be yearning for them.

Those photos are beautiful and refreshing to look at, I'm sure they really helped you regain yourself.

Have a great weekend too 🥰

All kinds of life or seasons, general, have their own beauty.
When we align Life and season with our egos, Liking or Disliking occurs.

That's very true. It's up to us to see the brighter sides when bad or not-so-good seasons come our way.

Ahhh had that gray weather sometimes when frustrations attacked and you know why. Yet I am holding into positive thoughts 😂.

Hope everyone had good weather in their lives.

Get well soon Kay Father mo sis.

Traveling in such a climate is a pleasure, especially in a place with such beautiful scenery.

Nature could be a great healer and very nourishing. Try grounding yourself by standing on grass or earth without any shoes. You’ll be energized by natural electrons. That’s why cats like to sit on the grass and in sunshine.
