I had some trouble sleeping tonight so instead of continue to torture me i decided to do some household work. While I was doing that I remember I had to book time for the laundry room so I could do my laundry tomorrow, so i went out almost 5:30 in the morning. Outside its cold, dark and the air is damp. Im freezing and it feels like it is almost 0 degrees C in this October night.

While I was walking towards the Laundry room I saw this amazing thing. In the garden Im walking through everything that has been planted either flowers or bushes has long time lost its beauty and has past beyond its golden days but...

Just in the middle of the garden there is something that really cough my Eyes view. Right in this dead landscape of a garden is a few flowers still struggle to survive in this hostile climate. The flowers are some roses which even though they have every odds against them still fights on and tries to show the beauty for the cold world around. It was just so amazing and it really touched me.

 It made me think of a friend that I know is in the same situation. Always fighting  against all ods to make the world around a better place to enjoy. Sometimes we just need to stop and just take time to recognize good things. It might be a friendship, a shiny day or just like in this situation...

Some beautiful Roses fighting to survive in this cold and hostile world.

    Just wanted to let you all know that the end has come to this little story. One week of temperatures close to 0 degres Celcius(32 Fahrenheit) has been to much and this long journey has come to an end.

    Next year will be a new start we hope.

    I think things like this don't just happen, that there is a reason sometimes beyond our understanding, and we need to accept it as a gift.

    Thank you Jane, you also showed very beuaifull pictures of nature and its just like that. Beauty is al around us, we just need time to stop in our stressfull lifes to recognize what is importand and how we want to percieve the world.

    Life can be beautiful if we only know what we want to do with it and from which perspective to admire the wonderfull things that surounds us.

    Somthing that is true is that sometimes the same thing that can hurt us also can give our life meaning. It makes a big diffrence how you choose to percive live. If a glass is half full, or if it is half empty depends a lot on our emotions and state of mind.

    Thanks Jane for youre comment :-)
