New Life

                    Hello there my dear Bloggy buds and Insta pals,

OK, I'm only assuming that a whole hoard of people are reading this blog. Wishful thinking really... I don't really check the stats.

But even if it's one person...that's OK. So it's just you and me Dear One.


It's Good Friday and I have always felt a bit sad on this day. I tend to think a lot about how it must have been to be there at the crucifixion. What was it like to Love Him so and see Him suffer so much? Sometimes it brings me to tears.

It's been a dreary day here and it fits the mood. I finally threw out the flowers from my Father-in-law's wake, though one arrangement was still so beautiful. 
        
                                                   

I had a hard time throwing it out. I just didn't want to. I took it apart taking the almost perfect roses and placing them on the table. I was trying to figure out what I could do with them. What could I make with them?

and the answer is...

I will not keep them

I took a picture of the dried wilted flowers and I will admire them for a little while and then I will crush them and scatter them outside. They will become part of the backyard and when our annuals come up I will imagine that these flowers became part of the soil that helped them grow. I've learned not to keep everything...It helps to let go. Because by letting go something beautiful may happen.

New life

A new beginning

Life from something thought completely dead

Reminds me of Easter

And that my dear friend makes me smile

Hope it made you smile too

Blessings, Joanne
