Officially blooming

 It is the middle of May and we can see that the nature is finally awake and blooming. I wish I could say the same about my love life, but I am far from that. My personal life is not so bad, I am in a good mental shape, I am close to the people I love, and I feel most of times the love and care of others. 

What I like more about this period is when you look at the nature and see how it is all awake, the flowers are blooming, the trees already loosing their first set of flowers and the sun is shining most of the days. 

It is very nice, and reassuring that there is hope, and that there is good in this world full of sin. 

On the other side, across the border, in Ukraine the war is not over, people are still suffering and hiding and running away from the things they knew one time and for the places where they felt safe. 

Is hard for me to imagine how do they feel, and as the was is ongoing I just feel that my heart is getting colder, and that my empathy level decreases as well. It is not a good way of looking at things but is the reality not only for me but also for others. 

I am praying for an open heart, and for a sensing heart for the pain of other people, around me or far away from me. 

I am blessed with some good days and some bad days. I live with her and  I am loving it. I feel like is a new season of our lives, a season where love is more present than before. Loosing someone very dear to you makes you reconsider all things, specially behaviors with good friends and with family. 

My constant prayer is for wisdom so that I am able to respond to love t those who love me, even if I am not so in love with me, to be able to forgive what at times seems unforgiven, to be able to flex and support other people's needs by putting mine secondly, to be able to love the unlovable ones, and to be able to stay close to the One and Only who can give me all of the above. 

These are times of grace, and I am so grateful for that. I am continuing to praise the Lord for all the blessings that He is giving this world every day. 

Some pictures never hurt anyone :)
