Lifting the Fog

 
Fog hinders the ability to see clearly, providing only glimpses of the true sights in our surroundings. Enveloping in nature, fog seeps into the nooks and crannies within our environment. It cannot be captured or bottled. Its essence permeates the entire landscape. Fog leaves a feeling or gloom and heaviness even though it is actually weightless in nature. On its own fog dissipates as the morning sun ascends.
 
Teens and drama are synonymous. A constant stream of emotions play out each week in my home. As the week progress’ they escalates as tiredness and boredom set it. Drama reminds me of fog. Weightless, it carries a heavy burden. Masking our vision of reality, We loose sight on the situation. Feeling lost in it, we succumb to a blurred vantage as our energy levels descend.
 
The good news is just like actual fog, the cloudiness that drama brings can be lifted. As light enters in we can clear the ”fog” away. As it burns off, a brightness ensues that illuminates our world. The key is letting the light-love in through nurturing and caring for yourself.
