Dear ,
I was attracted to window reflections recently and mentally was planning a whole "lesson" in seeing - expectations - and shifts. Somehow it was falling flat for me, at least for now. Then, tonight I was surfing through my Cafe Press Gift shop, going over some items for a customer order. (Should you be interested, there are a couple of free shipping promos upcoming. See below.)
I was once again pulled in, and enlivened, by the purple tropical water lily, a Picture to Ponder favorite that I've used a few times.
It seemed to be the perfect photo to use here now, as we approach Thanksgiving in the United States. I like the feeling of opening up, spreading light and joy. May there be an abundance of good for us all.
TODAY'S PHOTOS -
As I was looking at the calendar page in the shop and at the above purple, tropical water lily on the year-at-a-glance calendar, I saw my photo/drawing version of the same flower.
I share it here for you to experience the subtle differences. Lastly, as I was being with this water lily from a fountain pond in the American Orchid Society
Gardens in Delray Beach, FL, I was reminded of another beautiful pink water lily from the 4 Arts Gardens in Palm Beach.
This last one, right now, espcially leaves me feeling serene and at peace. I wish the same for you as we enter what becomes for many a very hectic holiday season.
Self-Reflecting Queries -
I invite to be with the above photos and note your responses. Do any of them evoke feelings of abundance or peace in you?
Where in your life do you go, mentally or physically, when you wish to experience serenity? enlivenment?
Where is the strongest light in your life? And, for what are you most thankful?
For me it is family and friends, including you,
that I am most grateful. I especially appreciate the support, knowing that there are people on whom I can count.
In addition, I am excited with the new people I've been meeting, as well as the new business connections I've been making.
I invite you to think of those in your life, acknowledge them, and certainly share with us on the blog, if you so desire.
Love and peace.
And as always, have fun.
