Pandora Sailboat Charm* |
I often feel like a small sailboat, trying to make my way across a giant ocean, attempting to dodge the larger boats
(those who know exactly where they're going and what they're doing) and getting swept into dark, intimidating looking coves
(negative thoughts) to reach the safety of the harbour far into the distance. Sometimes the wind makes sailing along a breeze and sometimes getting to where I would like to be feels like an impossible task. Sometimes it feels like I'm battling against those big angry grey clouds that are blowing a gale and threatening to rip my sails at the seams. What often amazes me more than anything is the speed at which the winds can change. Sunny days can flit to raging storms in what feels like the blink of an eye.
But to truly appreciate those bright, clear days that are full of uninterrupted sunshine with a light, refreshing breeze, it's necessary to have to battle through some stormy seas. That feeling when those angry storm clouds start to dissolve and those rays of sunshine start to peek through, illuminating everything that crosses their path is, well... it's priceless. And the best part? Those people that
really matter, the ones that you should always keep close by, will be waiting for you in the harbour no matter how long it takes you to get there.
This little boat is determined to keep moving forwards, no matter what.
What another beautiful post Jennie! The little boat is absolutely lovely - so pretty.

Thank you! xo
DeleteYou write beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI can relate to feeling like a little boat too. It seems I'll never be quite as eloquent as others, or as well put together in life, but somewhere along the line I figured that that can also be okay and a part of life.
I hope you make your way through to the sunshine.
