Bloom and Flow: Count it all JOY

Just for Today

Count it all JOY

Hi Friends! Monday’s can feel a little fuzzy! I thought I’d share a little inspiration with you today!

 

Monday’s are hard? and feel super fuzzy to me. I don’t ever feel like “crushing Monday” do you? I actually never feel like “crushing” anything. There’s no Grace in the hustle. ⁠

Sometimes our color fades and explodes into something new. ❤️

I’ve been watching my hydrangea transition through a lackluster bloom this summer and well, I count it all JOY. She’s taking it day by day just like most of us. Instead of seeing the lack of blooms this summer, I’ve enJOYed the variegated color and this bloom has me mesmerized.

I’m going to paint her and I hope I can capture the intensity of her hue. ❤️

Now I know there are logical, expert gardener reasons (feel free to share them with me in the comments) for the lackluster year, but for now, in this season, I’m just standing by her side and observing her beautiful color, letting her be…. because…. JOY ❤️

So Just for today, pause, reflect and…

Count it all JOY!
