Just thinking lately ... It's so easy to bloom when things seem bright. All it takes is one person to shine into another's life. When the warmth of love turns one's face, it is the most humbling and empowering experience! Those are the easy parts of my thoughts, of course ... the flip side has me struggling with simply accepting and enjoying such a rich gift and wondering why it's so hard to see myself in the same light! Ways of thinking and being seem to creep in like weeds among everything that is familiar ... and you don't even realize they are there until you are uprooted and planted in new soil. Anyway, it's a challenge and an opportunity (with the opportunity being the easy part)!
