Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

These aren’t roses (obviously) but I took this photo when I was out of town last week.  It was right after a needed rain shower that brought relief to the warm temps we were feeling.    I love how rain always enhances the color of things.

Rhododendrons make me smile.   In fact, most flowers do.   Before I stopped to enjoy them, I took notice that most people were buzzing past them without even a glance to enjoy their beauty.    Isn’t that what so many of us do?

We become so busy getting from point A to B, or from this appointment to the next and fail to notice the beauty right in front of our eyes.    Sometimes that beauty is another person and sometimes it’s a flower.

Do you take the time to notice?

I have not intentionally abandoned this space- I’ve had a lot to say, but so much has been happening that I’ve felt a little discombobulated at times. Thankfully that isn’t much the case anymore.

I burned my hand, have been doing some traveling, plus working. Those are all good things and I have to say that after all the bumps and road blocks that life has continued to remain good. It doesn’t mean it hasn’t been a bumpy ride for a good portion of this year thus far, but it does mean that as always those things pass and the journey continues. I am extremely blessed. It doesn’t mean that I won’t have struggles, but I know that I will make it through them as long as I remain true to myself and stay on the path I should be on. When I veer in the wrong direction- things become off-balance, very much like a washing machine that has all the clothes settled on to one side.

My biggest Ah-Ha moment this year- is realizing that keeping balance for me is living outside of my comfort zone, not in it. I know that sounds crazy, but in that comfort zone is where complacency happens. That’s the last thing I want or need. I believe for me to grow that doesn’t mean getting comfortable where I am and staying there- that I’ve got to keep moving- that’s where the real change happens. It’s time to get uncomfortable.
