What many people would often explain as “coincidences”, to me are gifts. May it be gifts from the Universe, Source, Great Spirit, God, Nature, it’s all the same to me, they are gifts from a higher power! This is today’s example for me, this photo I took through my window of a branch on the big maple tree, just looking right at me. You may not see it, but when I saw it and my heart sped up with joy, I considered that a gift. I woke up a few days ago and decided that I wanted to make dragonfly art, as I could see them in my head with so many different color and energy combinations. Later, I dropped my phone and my screen saver changed to dragonflies. I started making dragonflies. My first tattoo was of a dragonfly, so I don’t know what took me so long to create this design. I have many “coincidences” in my life, and I am grateful for all of them. There is never a lack of beauty or amazement in my life. Even when things are not the best, it could always be worse, and many times it has been. Therefore, I choose to see the good, the possibilities, the dream, the brighter side as much as possible, because life is short and I am grateful to still be here and able to find joy in as many moments as I can. I’m quite lucky really, because I truly enjoy what other’s may consider “simple” things. A tree growing through a rock, or a flower growing through concrete, and I will stop in awe and congratulate them out loud. When it’s raining on me, and the sun is shining on me at the same time, hell yeah I believe it’s a gift! I feel like I’m in the middle of a rainbow! Gifts, all gifts in this short and glorious bit of time we have here on earth to enjoy every moment with pure gratitude. I know stuff hurts, and it can consume us at times, but there are gifts all around us just eager to help us find our joy so as to get through the darker times and bring us into the truest shining light of life.
