What These Flowers Showed Me

>

Wow, so after so many years, ten to be exact, I decided enough is enough. I could barely get to work the way the anxiety and fear were tearing me apart.

These flowers were given to me by my direct staff on one of my last days at work. Getting there was challenging as I ended up having another panic attack in the traffic and had to pull over 5km away from the office. Talk about the mortification I felt calling the office and asking for someone to come fetch me as I couldn't drive.

I took these photographs after my last day was finished and all the bulbs had finally opened. It was a difficult journey and as the bulbs finally flowered in full I got to thinking that at last I had finished a very big chapter of my life and now a new one is also opening up and beginning.

These flowers reminded me that even though it was hard it came to an end and sometimes in life we all face hard times. We must always remember to seek out the beauty in every situation. It is with a thankful heart that we are able to truly open our eyes to see the blessings that are more than likely staring us straight in the face.

All photographs were taken by myself using my Samsung S8 Smartphone.

Thank you for reading and remember to keep smiling.
