Snow White and Rose Red When I was a young my grandmother always read to me from old books she had kept from when my mother. One was a 1920's edition of Grimm's Fairy Tales. Wish I had it at the moment but it, like my other treasures and memories, are packed up in storage or maybe even with one of my . Snow White and Rose Red is one of the lesser known Grimm stories. It's about 2 sisters with opposite appearances yet both are beautiful. I haven't thought of this story in many, many years. Perhaps not even since I stopped reading these books myself. I am surprised I even remember it. What brought it to mind? In my last posts I wrote about my current life crap and how on the toughest day the Universe sent me support by way of old friends, including the one who just popped up and provided relief and comfort when needed most. I drove home from my friend's yesterday AM to shower, change clothes and get to the business of the day thanking the Universe for all of the love and support it gives me. When got out of the car I saw the picture that I am sharing. The drive way is lined with rosebushes. A yellow one, a pink one and 4 - 5 white ones. They were some of the few plants that alive when I came out here to live 3 years ago. There were never any red roses or ones with small blooms. When I got out of the car I noticed that this one particular white rose bush had produced a branch of small bright red blossoms over night. There had been no hint of this when I tended them last on Sunday. WOW - another sign from the Universe that in spite of what we have to deal with or endure we are loved, cared for and supported by a higher power. Life itself is such a miracle with small miracles along the way to remind us when we need them most.  Spiritwoman ^i^ |

Undoubtedly, flowers brighten our lives, as well as a blue sky, an early sun ray coming through the window, a gentle breeze, a word, a hug... I love your blog, Spirit.  Trust in dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity.(Khalil Gibran)

Chuck is not doing as well today but not that far off course. Breathing problems and yes, like most men he is having difficulty following orders. Today it was the respiratory therapist and I who had to gang up on him to make him do his treatments and breathing exercises. He wants to come home ASAP and keeps telling the doctor I can take care of him - NOT!!!!! Just because I can handle a medical crisis does not mean I want to. Spiritwoman ^i^
