At The End Of The Day-- "All's Well That Ends Well"

Today was a pure gardening day.  Five rhododendron of the Olga Mezitt variety were planted in the main Peace Garden today.  Their pink blossoms are a pure uplift which I will savor, being they are a favorite of springtime & springtime is so very short.

I learn so very much during these quite times working in the garden.  Today I was reminded of how transitory it all is--  the delicacy of it's perfect colors & simple beauty.  To be enjoyed to it's fullest today, yet a memory soon for tomorrow.  That's all of us, feeling at times rooted to a time & a place, yet also so mortal, so transitory.

My husband brought home the local town paper with our mail today.  The letter I had so anguished with & had  finally gotten right was finally in print today.  It felt good.  Good to know that I addressed a situation of public bullying without anger or malice.  It was a long hard journey to be sure & no matter the outcome or response I feel comfortable in body, mind & thought.  Ultimately that's all any of us can ask for, to be honest in thought & deed & as my favorite president said-- "With malice towards none & justice for all."

So let us enjoy this springtime & appreciate it's inpermanentence & be thankful for the rain & storms of life, for they enable us to bring forth beauty & wisdom.

*Amen*
