Rewards


Rewarded with the glimmer of what may be,
and what lies ahead,
as opposed to looking backwards at what we have left behind.
Rewards for perserverence,
for faith and hope and love.

When suddenly light seeps through and possibility makes an appearance,
When all those never ending tiny steps seem to have made one smallish step in a direction somewhere, anywhere,

and we stretch and bathe in the warmth, as we remember the cold darkness.
Lessons learned,
wiser perhaps, maybe, possibly, we hope...

It's warm, it's bright, it's beautiful...

it's a new beginning..

all over again

That is beautiful, Katie! And a lovely photo to go with it.

I'm afraid at my time of life its all looking backwards, with regret. Can;t see many new beginnings on the horizon!

Thank you Gilly, sending thoughts your way. Isn't that the way it is often though - that we don't see them, they just appear when we least expect, and often when we need them the most...they aren't always something we can conjure up. Hope some appear soon for you, x

Jayne, thank you..I really do owe you an e mail and catch up...x

Carmi, You're welcome..and thank you :) Hope your day is beautiful...

I try and greet each day that way.
It's important to me to see each day as a new beginning, a new chance.

Great post Katie!

Fantastic! The image (serving as an impromptu, I suppose), complements your words so very well!

It is like a great insight, or a great review or analysis of the snapshot!

Well done! This is very very good!!!
