The Angel of May brings the blush and promise of spring.
May's angel rejoices with us as we take heart
at the sight of trees ad shrubs in bloom
and relish our anticipation of the fruits to come.
This angel of spring reminds us that this is a time
of awakening the seed within ourselves.
Perhaps we have a deep longing, an artistic talent
never explored or a friendship never quite attempted.
This angel of May will help us discover this potential,
nurturing our spirits as we can dare to fulfill
this hidden promise and bring forth the
fruit of a life fully lived.
The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.
Oprah Winfrey
GOOD MORNING !
There is an old saying that advises us to turn the lemons that life deals us into lemonade. No matter what age we find ourselves, life does, on occasion, present us with some very difficult challenges.
I prefer to consider these challenges lessons in growth--and our growth comes in all sizes, shapes, and colors for sure.
Living in a home that has become an empty nest is not a pleasant adjustment to make. Gone are the days where my home was a sanctuary that held children bubbling with joy, anticipation, and love for life. My life was filled with some thing happening every moment and then suddenly all was way too quiet
We can glorify our circumstances and have a fulfilling existence by celebrating events in life that perhaps we never realized were worthy of celebration. It’s a matter of choosing to see things differently. Choice. We all have choice.
The answer is all in the perspective one takes. You can't always change your circumstances, but you can change your attitude. All it takes is the decision to stop "enduring" and to start celebrating!
Time is so precious that we really do need to celebrate each day! That is why my theme for this month will be CELEBRATING. I hope that you all will choose to celebrate with me as we journey through the merry month of May.
Stop worrying about the potholes in the road
and celebrate the journey!
