Fond Memory

Fond memory brings the light of other days around me.~Thomas Moore

This past week may have proved very trying. With changes at work, increased workload, and changes within the confines of the household. It is very easy to get caught up in the monotony of the day or equally effortless in looking at the brighter things in life.

With a bit of laughter at the current situation, we can easily drift off into a different world…remembering the good days before and looking to future sunshine. Whether a memory or a glimpse of what shall be, we have the choice to remain in the misery of our day or drift into the happy place…

Touch’d by the Thorns

And the heart that is soonest awake to the flowers is always the first to be touch’d by the thorns.~Thomas Moore

Those most open to sending love into the universe are most vulnerable. While vulnerable they appear, truly they are not. True strength is attained through giving unconditionally even during the most prickly of situations. If one is hurt by a few thorns, then truly they are strong enough to enjoy the flowers that come with it…
