Bloom

~

Turn away from things that can’t be changed. Forgive the foolish slights. Mend the wounds.

Turn to the rising sun. Feel the warmth of the new day. Embrace it with a thankful heart.

Be the cause of joy. Be the source of possibility. Make life better for your having been here.

begin beginning
don’t dwell fallen petals past
nurture spring’s bright blooms

      1. Thank you Glenn. The events in my life over the past several months leave me only two choices — despair or hope. I am choosing to sustain hope brother, for as long as I am able.

      1. I am pleased it raised your spirit Kim! The new blossoms will be here soon. I am slowly learning to be deeply grateful for each day, each time I greet the sun.

    1. I just wish I could be as positive as you are… too many things that needs doing at the end of the day.

    2. I always love a reminder that spring is coming, especially in January. Things are beginning to bloom. Thanks for the encouragement to bloom with joy and thankfulness too.

    3. Rob, I got your email about not being able to post comments at my blog. I checked in the spam folder and no comments are there. Sorry, I’m not sure what’s happening with them, but Word Press has a rep for random glitches. Don’t give up trying to comment and again I’m sorry they aren’t coming through.

    4. Loving this, Rob. Begin beginning….we can do this every moment, really. Thankful for every day. Hoping you are feeling well, my friend.

      Apologies for the late reading….we flew to San Diego yesterday – spending the next two months in a rental here, away from Boston’s winter. So posted on Monday and then got consumed with packing etc.
      And now, you remind me…this is a new beginning – relishing sunshine for 2 months 🙂
