I found this saying on the internet, not sure where and I cannot find a true source for this version of what appears to be made from another quote but I found it fitting for the image below and wanted to share it with you here on the blog, on the last day of February.
Over the weekend I was taking pictures of everything that was blooming in the garden and came across this beautiful daffodil bloom and bud laying on the driveway. A squirrel had lopped them off and at first I was mad. Mad because they would soon shrivel up and die. Mad because the squirrel robbed me of enjoying their beauty while they bloomed in the garden. Mad because he lopped them off to the point I could not even bring them inside and enjoy them.
So, I took a picture of them anyway to preserve their beauty. And as I was walking around the yard taking more pictures, I remembered this saying. And then I was no longer mad. I accepted what the squirrel did and let go of my anger. And then when I believed in what was to come and that I really had no control over changing the situation I was happy that I took this picture and realized that I could have let that one little squirrel waste my time and take away my peace. This is just one of those things that squirrels do. And there were lots of other beautiful flowers I could enjoy. And taking a picture will preserve the beauty forever. There will be more flowers and even if the squirrels lop off more of them, they will come back next year. And bloom again and be just as beautiful.
So I look forward to what will be blooming next in the garden. And I will try to remember this when I start worrying over things that I cannot change. Things happen. I may not always like them but I can accept them and move on. And Believe In What Will BE…my One Little Word this year!
