My hope for today.

What do I bring? I need to think mindfully about what I bring to any situation. Patience, acceptance, joy, thoughtfulness, excitement, positivity, happiness … what do I bring?

These are the blessings an iris represents. I am thankful for all my blessings and my challenges each day.

“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. “ Anaïs Nin

Blessings remind me of flowers in bud. They are wonderful through every step.

“Every strong and beautiful flower must have a strong root in the ground. It must send a root down so that it may be rooted and grounded while at the same time it sends a shoot up to be the flower that shall gladden the world. Both growths are necessary. Without a strong root, it would soon wither. The higher the growth upward, the deeper must be the rooting. My life cannot flower into success and helpfulness unless it is rooted in a strong faith, or unless it feels deeply secure in the goodness and purpose of the universe.” 24 Hours A Day

Be not afraid of growing slowing, be afraid only of standing still. — Chinese proverb

That how I feel about sharing. Don’t be afraid to share, just throw it out to the universe with no expectations. Be afraid of keeping it to myself, whatever it may be.

… Safe and protected with the sun setting and the moon rising.
