White Beauties



I captured this shot during my morning walk in the nearby park. These little white flowers decorated the sides of the park lanes so beautifully. And they smelled good too. Wish I could also capture the nice fragrance of these early morning blossoms!!!

I am Unbroken

There are days when you feel down, nothing seems to work. Today is one such day. My spirits may be dampened but I know deep within my heart that sun will shine again, very soon. I'm reminded of this poem by Karen Burch. This will always be my inspiration.

I bend but I do not break.
I crack but I am not in pieces.
I may be bruised but I am not damaged.
I am shaken but I am not shattered.
I can be wounded but I cannot be destroyed.
I may cry tears but tears will not dissolve me.
I can stumble but I will rise.
I may sit down in acceptance but I will stand up in action.
I can be hurt but I will heal.
I may be very discouraged but I will become very determined.
I am not broken.
I’ve been bent, but life has bent me.
I am bending, but I am choosing to bend.
As I am bending, I am strengthening and mending.
I am still alive and standing.
Death is final, but life is everything that has bent me but does not break me.
I am unbroken.
