I watched the rose petals fall one by one as the cold wind stripped them of their mooring and left behind only a shadow of her previous glory. But I am not saddened by this sight. For her beauty was enhanced by her boldness to blossom against the mid-winter chill. A reminder to all of us that we also may bloom this day. That even during the cold of winter we can embrace the blessings that life has to offer. That through hardship we can flourish and bring forth beauty to all of those around us. What a gift is the winter rose.
Be well,

I’ve missed having them!! But I’m learning to appreciate that even if they aren’t everyday they still “are”.

Hehe- I don’t have everyday musings either! Some days are blank while others swirl with creative or deep thoughts…
