"When you look at plants in winter, most have neither flowers or leaves. The may seem to be not alive at all, but thats not true. They are waiting for the right time to bloom, they are waiting for the best time for them.
In the same way you need to believe in your own inner strength and wisdom, utilize them and overcome any difficulty or problem."
I had an interesting dream Thursday night. I was outside a white door in a hallway where I lived. Near the door were 5 pots. Three had dead flowers and two had flowers that looked rough but appeared savable. I thought the two that looked alive could be a start to a nice garden. I was thinking this represented my life.
Your story reminds me that more potential exists than what I may see today. First the leaves show and they have a beauty of their own. This gives me faith to keep moving along and then with care the flowers bloom.
I do not make the timetable. It is my job to be there and be ready when opportunity arrives. My HP is the one that controls the timetable.
Thank you, Bettina. Sometimes I doubt my inner strength but you have reminded me that, in order to survive emotionally, I need to recognise and utilise my positive attributes. You know, that is not so easy but I promise to try!
Exactly what one of the morning meeting members shared with me...and when some flowers are blooming bright and beautiful others are not...Life is that way. (((hugs)))
