Be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year. We as humans are all different, but alike in the fact that we are not perfect. We are real. We’re beautiful, but not perfect.
Be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year.
Flowers and weeds are that way, too. Not all flowers are beautiful, not all are perfect. Flowers don’t bloom every day and neither do we.
Be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year.
We all must be plants, and bloom where we are planted. And we must make our surroundings better by being there. We must bloom when we can, but realize that if today is a day you just can’t bloom, it’s okay.
Be patient with yourself on those days. God doesn’t make every day a perfect day, does He? There are the perfect weather days, but it seems most days are a little too cold, a little too hot. Too windy. Cloudy. Rainy. And then there are the stormy days.
Of course, we know He never promised us all beautiful, perfect days, so why would you think you need to be perfect every day?
And my perfect day may look totally different from your perfect day. Just like my stormy days may look different than yours.
My perfect weather day looks sunny and feels cool and fresh. Yes, I love a cool, refreshing, sunny day. My daughters both love rainy, grey days. While I appreciate a rainy day and the storms, I must have some sun. So, bring the rain, because the earth needs that to smile. But then, give me the sun again.
Rain brings the blooms. Rain brings the green. It is okay to not be okay and to have “not okay” days. We all do. We all have storms and rainy days. And if we pretend we don’t, we are not being true to ourselves or to others.
Remember—be patient with yourself.
Be real and accept the rain.
Be patient with yourself. Don’t expect perfection. We all have weeds in our garden that need to be tended to. We all have rainy days. And let’s face it, not all have perfect houses with perfect gardens. Very few do. I do not.
Weeds grow in my garden just as they grow in yours.
Be patient with yourself, nothing in nature blooms all year. #bloom Click To Tweet

I try to see the beauty in everything. And, I almost always can see it and I almost always can smile because of it.
But being real, there are days I want to close my eyes. I don’t want to see the weeds. And, I don’t want to see the beauty. I do my best on those days to just be. Just be. On those days, those blue days, I don’t really see anything. I also know it’s okay. It is okay to be blah, to be blue.
Honestly, there’s no other way to be on those days.
I call these days my blue days, but I should call them my grey days. Or my stormy days. These are the days my flowers close and don’t show their beauty—and that’s okay.
And, I am patient with myself on these days.
I pray the grey away.
The sun always returns, eventually. I always get my smile back and my ability to see the beauty in all the things.
So, if you are having a day, or year, where you can’t see the beauty around you, it’s okay. Be patient with yourself. Close your eyes. There is tomorrow.
Tomorrow, you can open your eyes to God’s beauty. He will be there waiting to show you all the beauty around you. Be patient with yourself on those days.
Bloom tomorrow.
I hope for you many sunny days. And, I also hope for you the realization that it is okay to have the grey days and to accept the storms. And a few weeds in your garden. Be patient with yourself.
love and blessings~dd
