What do YOU see?

What do you see when you look at this picture? Some people would pass right by this and not even notice. Some people will look at it and see just a weed; something to be pulled and thrown out with the trash. Some people will see childhood memories of ‘checking to see if you like butter’ by putting it under a chin. Some people will see it as the beginning of a wish. In a few days you will be able to blow on the petals and make a wish. Some people with see a little bright yellow flower. Some people will see the beauty in this little flower because they can see all that it is and all that it will be.

In our lives we have the same situations with the people around us. Some will not even notice us. Some will think we are garbage. Some will use us. Some will try to wait until we change into something else. Some will just see our outsides. And then there are those who will see all of us. The beauty that is us because of all we have gone through to get to where we are now. All the adversities have made us stronger and more resilient. All the things we are now and all the potential of what we can become. They will accept us as we are and allow us time to mature and grow at our own pace. They will appreciate all that we have to offer and be glad that we are in their yard (life). Those are the people we want around us. Those are the people who love us. Those are the people we need.
