Thoughts About A Rose...
Sitting here inside, grateful to have a roof over my head, warmth around me and yummy tea. A contradiction to the outside storm. Still, I am even grateful for the storm brewing outside, with its rain to ready the earth for the planting and growing season. My mind wanders to this week's podcast episode, "Love Yourself, The Art of Body Positivity" and life. My thoughts keep bringing to mind, a rose.
A rose is vibrant and warm, with petals that are as soft as velvet, and a frangrance so sweet and divine, even memorable. Yet with this beauty a rose may bring pain. Thorns that in their own way add splendor to the rose, but if not careful, cause pain. I could go on discribing one of earth's beautiful creations, but I think that discription shows enough. Our relationship with ourselves, thinking positively about ourselves, and loving ourselves is much like the rose. And the rose is also much like life. Beautiful and sweet, guarded and painful, up and down; ever changing and evolving.
With that Goodnight! Love you all! A.Rae

ReplyDeleteLove the thought and good point! Lot of crazy storms out there so please be safe, but the bright side is that nature needs it and uses it to keep fueling herself.
ReplyDeleteAs for loving yourself, always a struggle in today's day and age. Lot of folks find it very easy to boost up others while depraving themselves of the same upbeat and encouragement. Remember to look in the mirror just once a day and say, "You know, I wouldn't be here without you." Always a true fact. :)
