Flowers for Mom

There can be such joy in life, but there is sorrow too. And anxiety and worry.

I always tell myself that worrying does nothing to help anyone -- and that I best just get to doing something to allay all that fear. And, generally I find that very helpful. Doing for others is always an antidote to the difficult things that life throws at us.

But gratitude can also be an anxiety slayer. And sometimes I forget that.

So today I just sat still for a moment and enjoyed all the beautiful flowers that my daughters had gifted to me recently. I'd like to think they were gifts of gratitude.

I guess gratitude is a two way street. And today was a good day to be reminded of that.
