I am blessed with the knowledge each day, that my life is filled with love; that I have great love in my life. Like the new growth on trees in Spring, I am abundant in my love and in my life. I bless the love and the loved ones I have in my life, today and everyday.” – Pamela J. Leavey

In the Spring we see everything as fresh and new… Our lives are constantly changing like the seasons, and today as Spring approaches I re-mind myself of all the wondrous possibilities that are blossoming in my life like the Spring flowers. ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~~ Anaïs Nin

Awesome words of wisdom from His Holiness…
The practice of patience protects us from losing our composure. In doing that it enables us to exercise discernment, even in the heat of difficult situations. It gives us inner space. And within that space we gain a degree of self-control, which allows us to respond to situations in an appropriate and compassionate manner rather than being driven by our anger and irritation. ~~ His Holiness The Dalai Lama

“I welcome the chance to learn from every person with whom my life interacts. I recognize that I am green as the new leaves that grow upon the trees, and in my learning I too will grow.” ~~ Pamela J. Leavey

A short time after publishing my earlier post today, Live With Sorrow, I looked out of my desk window to check on my little yellow crocus that have been blooming sporadically for over a week now and found they had some companions… Some lovely white crocus had also bloomed.
As I hobbled down my driveway, camera in hand, I was filled with joy knowing that more of the crocus I had planted last fall were poking their pretty little petals out in the sun.
It’s true that the smallest and simplest things can fill our hearts with joy. For me flowers have always been a great source of joy. I spent 20 years working as a floral designer and although the long hours during the holiday seasons were rough, the work itself was always filled with joy. It never ceased to amaze me during those 20 years, that I could look at a bunch of white daises, or red roses, or pink carnations and find that one perfect flower that made me say, “wow.”
Joy is all around us… Even in times of deep sorrow, we must open our eyes to see, open our ears to hear and let it the joy flow into us every day.
