I seen this post today and found it so appropriate for how I have been feeling. I need to do this so I can shine. What is friendship? I am searching for the answer to this. Are you a friend that is only there for someone when you want to be? only when you need something? or only when it is convenient? Aren't friends suppose to be there for you at all times, in time of support, happiness, sorrow,disappointment?????
Friendship is like a garden, and Friendship is like a flower......... That blooms and grows in beauty With the sunshine and the shower.
Sometimes I believe with the hustle and bustle of today's society and trying to be someone we are not. We forget the true things in life. Take the time, reach out to those friends and let them know they still count, slow down and take in the beauty of the day, breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun or the breeze of the wind, listen to the sounds around you, follow your heart and make time for all. Its the simple things that will matter the most. Reach out and let them know. Smile, say a simple hello and shine on!
Have you ever been bothered by a mind that doesn't quit? I am one of those that take many things to heart and doesn't know how to let certain things go. Having a huge caring heart isn't always the best thing to have. One can get hurt so easily. I have a huge heart for the love of all animals and when I found a stray cat in my garage this past winter , I didn't have the heart to block it out so it couldn't take refuge in my garage instead I let it stay. About 3 weeks ago I noticed she had had kittens I rescued them and have let them stay, they are so damn cute and so loving. Here are those little love bugs
I call them Uno and Dos this is them about a week after I found them. They have grown so much since these pictures were taken. This is what a person does whether you have a heart or not, you give them a chance at life. My other love is gardening and it reaps such rewards in more ways then one. To watch something from the very first day of spring until the last day of fall grow is reward in its self. I so look forward to seeing green after a long winter of white , change happens some for good and some for bad. I love the art of gardening and the extreme joy I receive from it.This was taken in early spring and to see it now is breath taking. If I did not have gardens to work in there are days I would not see, gardening is therapy for me I use it to get my mind off of things that have hurt me or have bothered me. I use to be able to go to a close friend for help and guidance, but now I am hardly noticed. Life is so unfair some times and having a huge heart also allows for it to be broken. There are more things in life than money, being better than someone else because you need to be someone you are not to impress, having things that are not an necessity, you take none of that with you you only leave this earth with the memories. My greatest memory will be the joy I got from knowing I took the god given talent I received from the love of giving back to the earth and the love of being a generous caring person. Take the time and enjoy the love of family, friends and life. Be thankful when you wake and god gave you another day!
