Time-Lapse: Watch Flowers Bloom Before Your Eyes

Spring is Here! 

YES.

Love this video.

It's amazing to watch the time lapse flowers and to see the changes as they bloom.  

Beautiful.

Dona Anderson

I always feel that our spring starts early as some of the flower bulbs start growing in late December and sneak above ground for a month or so until they start getting bigger when it's warmer.

We had more cold, snow, rain & wind than normal over the winter so good to see these ones brighten our yard and spirit. Photo left March 22, 2022

                        Is Spring one of your favorite seasons? 

Here's a post I love to share each year about Spring.

Gifts from our garden last year.

 

Have a great week and new posts every Tuesday.

Love that the birds are more active

now and singing lots during the day.

PS. One more for you today is a few lines from an ancient Navajo Walk in Beauty Prayer. It certainly fits into the gifts of Spring. 

"With beauty before me I walk

With beauty behind me I walk

With beauty above me I walk

With beauty around me I walk

It has become beauty again"

What are the words You remember?

 

and, they change over time. 

I saw this quote a while back and it seemed an important one to share.

Dona Anderson

I don't remember what I thought about at the time but since then it has taken on different words and memories when thinking back over the past years and things I and others have said.

The most important words we'll ever utter are those words we say to ourselves, about ourselves, when we're by ourselves. ~A.L. Walker~

The child version - trying to fit in, being the little sister/brother or the older one. Feelings about how our looks change over the years - will my teeth ever grow in, or how we look in that first pair of glasses.

The teenage version - I don't know anyone, I look weird, I don't like the new grades at school, finding new favorite songs and bands. Hoping the Boys or Girls like me. Hoping my clothes don't look out of place. Trying to put on makeup. Another pimple, Need a different hair style, when will I get taller.

I'm an adult now - Time for getting a job, perhaps going college or other education. What do I want to do? Who's going to hire Me? Can I do that?

Married and family life - Am I or are We doing this right. What do we really want our lives to be about. So much pressure & stress. I'm starting to have wrinkles. My hair is getting grey. We need more savings. I'm tired of all the housework, making meals, paying the bills and all the other things. Need to buy that winning lottery ticket.

Getting older - when can we retire. How do we pay the bills. My health is changing I can't do what I used to. I'm tired.

Senior - I need more help. Another visit to the doctor. What's wrong with me. I don't like that anymore. I don't remember. I need to exercise, but. How does that work. My clothes don't fit anymore, they're only 20 years old. I'm sad things are always changing. I hurt. My friends are leaving... It's too hard to get out. I'm lonely, The kids are busy.

Where will I end up?

PS. I always love seeing this plant start to bloom again. It just does it on its own in the same place and time every year. 

No help or needing to look at the calendar. 

Nature just knows what to do and in many cases, so do we.

I hope we can learn to relax and find more peace and comfort in our lives. 

Remember those good stories, fun times and laugh at the mistakes that taught you how to do it better the next time. 

Take Care.

André Rieu - My Heart Will Go On

Spectacular performance.  

Yes, me again - I was on the hunt for things

to share with You and I found this!

I've always been a Huge fan and got to attend a live performance years

ago when his orchestra came to Vancouver. 

Amazing night! 

It's wonderful that they continue to surprise us with these beautiful mix of music and art.

I still have another concert on my bucket list. 

The video is peaceful yet energizing.

From the beginning it is all beautiful.

I got shivers for a moment and went back to the titanic movie.

The smooth beautiful performance of the skaters was very peaceful, loved it.

I loved the mix of background scenes moving from the skaters to the orchestra, to the buildings in the back which kind of had the sense of grounding.

All this and the words from the song in my head that the 

Heart Will Go On.

 

PS I'm sure this will give us some peace ... We may need a few repeats.

Please take care of yourselves so

we can meet again.

Thanks for your visit today.

We never know how long we'll live

What a sweetheart. 

A great video I found to share with You.

Things she does

Exercise daily, think positive, good stories, laugh lots, music ....

I know it takes more than these things as well and often we forget about those everyday things that affect our feelings, emotions, thoughts and cause stress to build up. 

PS. We never know how others are feeling inside even when they have a smile on their face. 

Here's a link to a 3 part Wellness posts  from April 2019.

Have a look.

It's our wedding anniversary today,

53 years now.

Back 53 years ago we never thought about 53 years later. 

here's the link to my post for our 50th

When you're young you don't spend much time thinking about being old.

Then it quickly becomes later and it's What happened in all those years. 

Gladly we're still alive and together, but we sure don't look the same.

Our Son, Daughter and their families are getting older and how many pets have we had.

Time sure has flown by.

It's fun to watch this video above. It kind of lets us forget about other things and just smile.
