Evergreen

 Evergreen. This feeling of fresh, green, renewal, new, ahh. This new year feels not only like a fresh start (like they all do), but one of opportunity and perspective. The color green instills life, and growth and I feel it is all around me. 

As I lit the candle on New Years Day my sister gave me for Christmas it was so refreshing and peaceful. (I really need to light candles more often!) The scent was evergreen- forest fur, and with that came a burning light, and nice aroma to begin again, to recharge, to be grateful. Reminds me of that song by Audrey Assad, titled 'Evergreen', very peaceful and calming. 

I noticed while not on purpose, that I put up some decor in my room that reminds me of evergreen- photos that showcase lush greenery in the background; flowers; green sprouting wall sticker, and my green wall. This rain only adds to making things green and bloom once again, while awaiting what's in store. 

Happy New Year!!
