| Good Morning girls...I was up early today...before the sun woke up...I was outside with Terza looking around the yard...eventually my eyes fell on our neighbors Weeping Willow tree...I started thinking about how this tree ever received it's name...as I thought I realized the willow tree is a fascinating part of our earthly garden... |
 |
| The first time I heard the name I was a child...I can remember asking "Momma Willow trees don't really cry do they"...for some reason way back then my heart was protective...I wanted to know about this tree....I was instantly concerned about it's well being.. |
 |
| Marmie ...(I called my mom Marmie)... said I should read about it...ask my teacher...find out whatever I could about how the Willow got it's name... from that moment on It was my FAVORITE tree...I think the Willow is beautiful....it moves like natures "ballerina"...PEACEFULLY bending...leaning into the wind with her long leafy arms...praising the Creator with every branch... |
 |
| There's a life lesson we can take from our friend the Willow..when the winds of change start blowing through our lives ...big or small...we can choose to BEND WITH THE BREEZE...we can stand strong turn our face towards the sun...or rain...take a deep breath...and bend.....leaning into our circumstances with a special knowing that it will pass...the winds don't blow forever......we can't see what causes it to blow ....still...it can be fun... even if it knocks us off our feet.... |
 |
| I hope the next time the wind starts blowing in my life...I remember to LEAN IN...RELAX...AND ENJOY THE FEELING... |
 |
| It was so nice of you to stop by ...I pray you each have a wonderful Friday...a fun weekend too ..I will be thinking of you blessings and big hugs.....Karena |
BEAUTIFUL post, Karena! Love to see those willows swaying in the wind. I planted two curly willows in my front yard a couple of years ago and I just love to watch the wind moving through them. We are a lot like them, aren't we? xo Diana
