Blooming border

My front border has exploded into bloom. Seemingly overnight. Or maybe I just wasn’t paying attention.

Once more, there’s been a bit going on in my world. I wonder if I need to just accept that my life is chaotic and stop expecting it to be otherwise. But then I’d probably be bored if it was all plain sailing (says the woman who gets seasick on a millpond).

So this afternoon, I took time to actually look around me. And I mean REALLY look. There is so much beauty. So much to be grateful for. So much to appreciate.

These flowers don’t care about the state of things. They just bloom. A lesson to us all.

Friends

This came up on my memories today. It was true then and it’s true now. I’m so grateful to have so many wonderful people in my life. No man is an island they say. And it’s very true. We need good people in our corner. To lift us up, to cheer us on and to celebrate with us.

I’ve had to learn how to ask for help. And accept it. It’s not always been easy. I do try to help others but sometimes feel awkward asking in return.

So if you’re reading this. Thank you for being there and for being you. I appreciate each and every one of you.
