Raining Flowers After The Rain

This morning as I stood at the lights waiting to cross the road, I noticed it was raining flowers around me. I was standing under a tree with pink flowers and last night's heavy rain had an effect on them. All around where I stood were flowers, and I noticed they were still falling like a light drizzle. 

While I stood there enjoying this flower rain, I realised that yet again nature was showing me a life lesson. 

After the rain, the sun comes out, after the rain, we can look forward to a flower shower. 

The toughest year of my entire life was last year when I lost someone dear to me, and immediately after that I had to support another back to health.  When it was happening, it was hell but I also had hope that despite everything, there was a blessing in this situation, I just needed to find it. I can't say I have found all the answers as life is an ongoing process, but this morning's flowers are a reminder to me and anyone who reads this that it will never be only challenges. There will also be the lots of little gifts strewn along the way, we just have to be open to seeing it. 

Enjoy the journey!
