Welcome, Monday...

It was a rough weekend... but things are beginning to settle a bit...
and appropriately enough, there are these huge fluffy snowflakes falling down
---cleansing us all.

The other day when I went to get some groceries... I saw these gorgeous little bottles with hyacinth bulbs in them for sale... and knew I had to get one.
I love it.

With all the chaos going on lately... it's so easy to get discouraged and give up.
But like the hyacinth in this glass bottle...
I need to remember that my roots go deep.
That the water/ earth will sustain me.
That given a little sunshine (hope and respect -- from myself and other)... I will grow and become all I am able to be.

After all, in the whole scheme of things... I am just beginning.
Who knows what I will become :)
