Transform

Dear Friends,

Last Sunday happened to be a beautiful spring day around here…it also happened to be a day full of getting things done around my house, and checking things off the to-do list that had been on said list for way too long.  Perhaps not the best use of beautiful spring weather, but important nonetheless.  I was in and out of the house all day fulfilling my to-do list.

The day prior, my niece and I had been looking at the weeping cherry tree in my next-door neighbors yard.  It happens to be one of my favorite trees, it is just so beautiful.  We were looking at the buds that were tightly closed and talking about how pretty it is when they open…I went to bed that night with the blossoms still tightly wrapped up and tucked away in their little cocoons.

That next day, however, as I was in and out of the house, it was amazing to see this tree completely transform from morning to evening in one day.  It went from nary a bud opened, to practically full bloom that Sunday.  I could see the transformation happening in front of me as I went about my work.

Sometimes transformation is a long, arduous process…but sometimes transformation happens in an instant…both roads have their challenges, their lessons and their beauty.  

My dear friend, I hope, during this season of transformation in the world around us, we can see and notice the beauty around us even when life has its inevitable challenges.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista
