You Won’t Be the Same
And once the storm is over, you won’t remember
how you made it through, how you managed to survive.
You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is
really over. But one thing is certain. When you
come out of the storm, you won’t be the same
person who walked in. That’s what
this storm’s all about.

In facing the torrential winds and downpours of the storm, the bark of the tree grows ever stronger to face the next winds that may attempt to sway it from its life giving force, 🌅. Thank you for sharing!
Good morning, Thank you for sharing
your thoughts with us today, and
thank for following! it is all appreciated
very much. Have a fine day!
What a beautiful truth! The storms in our lives make us stronger people. When the difficulties pass its hard for us to recognize the person we’ve become.
Isn’t it the truth Simone. It’s very good hearing
from you. Have a lovely week
Happy Father’s Day and thank you for all the wonderful sharing!
Well thank you so much dear heart
Beautiful photo, Eddie, and the quote wonderful as well especially as we begin the final days of spring. As with storms, we will never be the same person that walked into the storm, and this is what the beauty of life (and spring) is all about. We experience, grown, and continue to yearn for a wonderful life and we do what we can to make it so. Take care, my friend, so good to read you again in words and photos 🙂
Hello Randall, so very good hearing from you! As usual your kindness evolves with your written word which stimulates the heart strings that pull on are memories and dreams. Thank you dear man!
Such a true saying, Eddie. Happy weekend to you and your dear wife. 🤗
You certainly have experienced enough storms to speak with some authority Sylvia.
Thank you very much for your kindness!
And I feel that place is pretty close to being experienced Eddie 😉 🙂
Great quote and love Caladiums… we only have them as potted house plants.. Not the climate for them to grow for long outdoors.. ❤
Very rarely is it cold here so they can grow outdoors. As you can see there are several colors out there. Thank you dear heart.
Beautiful they are too… ❤
Thank you Sue
…you won’t be the same
person who walked in…
🙏🤍🕊☀️true for me Eddie
Enjoy your garden💚hugs hedy
Gardens fill our life with joy each day.
They are a living part of us. hugs, Eddie
And isn’t that the truth kind sir…it takes us beyond ourselves, wiser and more loving…because of that storm 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Is it nature’s intention then for us to learn these things and the ‘storm’ provides the manner in which we learn them?
Most certainly kind sir, the storm is beyond certainty and dares us to feel its heart ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Mark, your comments and thoughts are
greatly appreciated dear man who thinks.
Enjoy life my friend
You also my friend, may your storms…well…put on a storm 😀 ❤️ 🙏🏽 🦋
Enjoy the day Mark
