Hibernation Season

What does hibernation look like on you?
“And then, pulled into her shell, encased in darkness, she settled into a deep stillness.”  (Gayle Boss)
It sounds wonderful, but maybe I’m a little more like an opossum than a turtle - only managing 3 days of hibernation before needing contact with the outside world again.  Each year it takes me until the first week of December to really sink into this hibernation season.  My heart rate slows, my inner drive slows, I’ve spent a few days enveloped in a good novel and I’m fine with not spending my days outside.  But if I’m really honest - a few days of that and I’m a bit restless. I love the steady paced, full list of things to do that the farming season brings me.  I’m a planner, a do-er.  But this season requires a different kind of attention.  Attention to my heart, to what is making me impatient and frustrated with those around me (my dear family) and how to lower my expectations of myself - and others.  

This hibernation season is really important as a farmer - I need to store up energy for the coming months.

What does your slowing down look like?
