Packed up Intuition


Christmas decorations boxed up and waiting to be stored away for another year. Well almost all of them. The little Christmas tree will be the last to be taken down.

Winking lights and remaining decorations will stay until tomorrow for one more early morning glow of the Christmas tree.

Storing things away is something I often do, and sometimes too well. Leaving them packed in a box, under the bed, up in a closet for when ‘they’ll come in handy someday’.

At least, Christmas decorations have a specific time of year to be displayed for a few weeks, scrambling back to safety when the season is over. Christmas decorations, or decorations for any season, come with some excitement and sense of anticipation, a sense of play and fun (but then that’s just for the kids).

All that excitement and anticipation, playfulness seems to get packed away with the decorations. Each day is ‘back to the grind’.  Up in the morning, pack lunches for the kids, off to work, home again, make supper, go to bed, up in the morning...lunches, off to work, .......... Need I say more?

And along with putting those sensory openings away, we also put away our intuition, our gut feelings, our hunches about what opportunities may come along. Intuition, gut feelings and hunches come in handy everyday.
