“I think we need to redefine failure. If we can flip the script and see these first efforts not as failure, nor as needing anything that looks like success, then we stop giving our brains the chance to confirm our bias that says we can’t do this and to reinforce the voices that say we can. We give ourselves small wins.”
~Ch. 10, The Problem With Muses; Notes on Everyday Creativity

Still blooming, even in today's rain and lack of sunlight. (But we do need the rain.)

It's not so pronounced but here one can see a bit of that famous defect which this lens is known for. What do you think Simon : ) ?

This is Ruby. One of the pair I have been following for some time now. Ruby is a bit cautious around this time, probably pregnant.

Nature created an unusual plant that grows all around the garden. This particular flower stem captured my attention by the way it gracefully reached towards the sun light. Nikon D3300, Micro-NIKKOR 105mm 1:4 AIS at f/4

Enjoy the rest of the weekend, my friends...
You are taking one courageous step after another down the healing road. While these are healthy steps, it’s intensely challenging to face the unknown and experiences so terrorizing that your mind wisely blocked them out for the sake of your survival. This is too much to handle alone and it’s important to remember that God’s presence surrounds you in each moment and you have the gift of your small though incredibly mighty group of supporters. Things are unclear, difficult, scary, require a tremendous amount of perseverance, and when you reflect on the past the healing process is evident, encouraging and certainly worth the effort it requires.

Recently I was struggling a lot with my own intense mental health struggles in addition to the stress and fear of my husband’s health struggles and recent hospitalization. Somehow I found the strength to spend some time outside capturing the beauty I saw in the fog and frost that was visible through the windows that morning—it seemed to tell an important, uplifting story that helped me continue pressing on.
