This beautiful rose opened up in my garden yesterday and signifies for me a time of healing, nurturing and blessings. Today is the old pagan festival of Lughnasadh, a rejoicing and celebration of blessings for the beginning of the harvest season and I have much to be grateful for.
Watching and waiting for this beauty to open taught me patience and stillness and brought with it so many reminders of those tough challenges we face in life.
This pink offering of mother nature’s perfection, was planted two years ago in honour and memory of my Ma, as we fondly called her. Not an easy relationship, but the reason I am who I am today, and why I continue to work on myself each day to become the best me I can be.
I am a work in progress, and greet each new day with possibility and magic in my heart, jockeying with my busy mind to stay present, to count my blessings and endeavour to make the very best of any situation.
When we plant seeds and tend them it gives us that sense of limitless potential.With those big dreams in our hearts we can give a little time and space each day and create magic, even in a small way and feel encouraged to share it with others.
Staying present… in the moment, offers us an opportunity to start anew, to be grateful, and to make the most of each day we are given.
This is especially true today with so much change and uncertainty. So whatever you are doing, give it your full attention, and make a start on those dreams …and watch and wait for them to grow. Blessings of the harvest to you.
