I feel sad at how some things have gone for me personally recently, but filling my days and making plans is how I handle that.
“Hope not mope” is my new mantra!
‘Spare’ time is like leftover wine. It shouldn’t exist! So I’m stuffing it full as a springy, gorgeous, patchwork cushion. Making it comfortable, useful and beautiful.
I always admire early Spring flowers especially tulips and daffodils.
They bravely poke their heads up not knowing what the weather is going to throw at them. One minute glorious, warm sunshine which shows their beauty, the next tossed around in the wind and then bending over full of rain. But they never break...and they come back again year after year.

Yes. If you ever have tulips in a vase with other flowers, you’ll notice after a day that the tulips will be taller. Survivors!
And another interesting metaphor which can be applied to tulips is that they continue to grow, even when you cut them.
Oh do they? Interesting

Rather like the human spirit...
And it seems unfortunate they have such long stems with all that early wind to bear. Feels a bit mean of nature. Setting them up😂
Still, nature plays many cruel jokes…
Love this beautiful poem, so much beauty and wisdom in a small package!
Aww thanks 😊
Wonderful. Thank you for sharing x
Hope you find peace and joy today, Hannah x
Beautiful, I have two growing at my site in the woods in the middle of nowhere.
The ones in the photo are in my garden which i can’t really call a garden cause it’s so small, just a step and a thin strip outside my house.
I’m going to focus on the sunshine Julie. It’s the only way forward x
It certainly is x
