finds

There will always be beauty in something hidden or a mystery behind a great find.  A stroll in the garden perhaps, or a walk along the seashore can bring a lot of surprises. A toadstool amongst the trees, a fallen piece of a rose apple, some intricate and well-designed fungi growing amongst the trails are some of the wondrous finds.

I am hurt and when I was able to open up my feelings to a number of people, they poured in, and gave their support.  Amazing how people showed up to offer their support and this is something I wanted to cherish. They offered their kind words, their sympathies and their care and love.  An amazing present from great people. 

I was sick but I wasn't alone in my unhealthy state.  Some phone calls, some messages through mobile apps, and comforting words from friends near and far came pouring.  There were also food that came in packages.  This taught me a great lesson, and that I have to pay it forward.  I will, nurture my own being, so that I could also be an instrument for others. 

I was lost.  Thought I was doing good but it wasn't always good enough.  Either my words are lacking, my actions insufficient, my intention amiss, it created a ripple of devalue to how I look at myself.  But things can change with this awakening, that I am still growing as a person and that I can see others' perspectives of me.

Truly, life is beautiful in many aspects.  It is in looking that we see and it is in being grateful that we live. So walk along this journey called life and discover what is good, to make it better, and to rejoice.
