Flowers because we need these in winter.
Found many years ago in the newspaper and given to my daughter when she went off to collage.

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul. And you learn the love doesn't mean leaning and company doesn't mean security. And you begin to understand that kisses aren't contracts and presents aren't promises. And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open, with the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child. You learn to build your roads on today, because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain and futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn that even sunshine burns if you get too much. So you plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure, that you really are strong. And that you really do have worth and that you keep learning. With every goodbye you learn.

Blessings on you today!

For those of you that signed up for the drawing at the Necessary Room, we have a winner.
It is Deena of Can I be pretty in Pink.
She won the Marmalady's jam, tea cozy, and sewing pattern.
One of these days I will do a Marmalady's give away here at Delights of the Heart.
