It's spring time, my Trilliums ,daffodils, violets,johnny jump ups and snow bells greet me everywhere I go...
How about you? Can you hear their joyous words of cheer?
This morning one of my clients shared with me how she is in a lot of pain right now, but she
was working hard, she had already done 5 loads of laundry and had been on her feet all day.
Her motto sounds much like mine, despite current constant pain in my neck right now, I get busy and just tackle what needs doing...we both put our focus on the joy and beauty around us.
There are times it is tempting to "give up", but really would that be any better?
I remember the words from Joni's friend (in the book Joni) when she wanted to give up ... you can have a 5 min pity party ,then get on with it (well something to that effect)
click here , Joni and Friends to see Joni's smiling face and learn more about her, then click your back arrow to return here.
Joni is amazing , she learned to paint with her teeth holding a brush.. talk about rising above limitations..wow
The next time something hinders you, limits you or discourages you, why not get a handle on it? Perhaps like Joni ,with you teeth if necessary (kind of like biting the bullet isn't it?
Put your focus on something funny or of beauty and be encouraged,refreshed and renewed.
Find a copy of Hinds Feet on High Places, perhaps amazon.com would have a used one at a good price, it is probably out of print now.
Then like little much afraid, learn to bloom where and how you are planted...
Learn to be like my spring flowers, full of springtime cheer and beauty
despite the frozen ground and spring mud they pushed their way up through .
They bring joy to those around them (well those who look for joy) and so can you.
Many blessings
