Work, Determination, Magic!

The end of April… how magical it was!  


And how had everything in the garden fully-fledged and beautified my little world all of a sudden!



Every new morning is a new beginning, an unwrapping of a gift, a new chance, another beautifully freely gifted day… to start anew, to amend errors and opt for love.  And perhaps to find a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning?



And thus, these last few days of April have brought much magic to my little world, the magic I was waiting for—the first quail in the garden, its song a mysterious emphasis on life, and an innate response to its Creator.  I know, oh I know there will more of them coming, and then I will be here, waiting for them beside all of my other little garden friends!



I have worked so much and so hard for months.  Worked in the middle of winter under awful winds and chilly temps, but everything is unfolding as I’ve expected it would, and the garden is marvelously responding in a thousand ways, and it is speaking to me secretly, and it's been gifting gifting!  How marvelous, how very marvelous to see it coming back to an orderly beauty!  No more weeds or unwanted grasses, no despairing shoots and unruly canes.  Roses are growing stronger and bushier by the day, and every little transplant I’d made is making it. I know that angels walk along me as I work and pull weeds, and by my side… oh by my side a Shadow—nay, more.  Even under His wings.





Ah my friends, I do believe in magic, but a dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work... I’m getting there!



Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.  Then, you can sit and relax!



Hasta luego!
