The key theme of Lammas for me this year seems to be about reaping what you sow. I was raised on the belief that you reap what you sow, but it was always used negatively in the sense that if you were bad then bad things will happen to you. However, I’m realizing that reaping what you sow should really be about reaping the wisdom from your actions good or bad.
The last two weeks have been a trip down memory lane for me as I’ve ended up by happenstance in places that have a lot of personal meaning for me, good and bad. I’m back in Springfield, IL again tonight and that’s where my ex and I had our first date. I was wild and crazy and went wading in fountain. I might go do that again tomorrow 
🙂.
I’ll also be visiting my alma mater tomorrow and I’m realizing that I have reaped so many lessons from my life and my college years:
- I’ve learned the meaning of addiction and through learning about addiction I’ve learned about the power of prayer and asking for help from a power greater than yourself.
- It was in college that I was first introduced to religions other than Christianity in a world religion course. That opened my eyes to the fact that not everyone worshiped the way that I did.
- I met my husband and although our life together wasn’t wonderful, I was fortunate enough to have two amazing children that I love dearly.
- I faced a lot of demons in college and facing those demons helped me to learn to be kind and compassionate to people who are struggling.
I’m sure there are so many more lessons and I’m sure that I will have a lot of things to think about over the next few days.
