In life sometimes we just need a little beauty.
Something to remind us that life is sweet...
Even in times when life seems unfair.
When things happen that we just can't understand.
Like a friend who has cancer, or a life taken too soon.
As I picked the tiny viola flowers for a completely different sort of post today I was struck by how frost bitten their delicate petals were.
But how despite their blemishes they were still so very beautiful. Reminding us that life is imperfect, and that even with the bumps and bruises we gather along the way, there is beauty deep down.
As I have been having some of the best weeks of my life career wise, some of my blog friends have been having some very hard days. So this post is dedicated to them...especially Jenni.
To those of you who are struggling, I wish you strength, love, support, and comfort. And I hope that even in the darkness you will find the beauty.

ReplyDeleteYou are a lovely soul Kat.
ReplyDeleteBlogging is such an odd thing. One minute I'm reading about how someone left a pen in a shirt and the ink ruined all the clothes in the wash. And then, 5 seconds later, I'm reading about someone dying.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I just want to quit.
Your Friend, m.
