TREES
Trees exude unique beauty in every season. My favorite is summer where trees are most alive, lush and green… the color of hope and nature. It gives me the feeling of prosperity and abundance. Next is autumn when leaves turn bright orange, yellow and brown… exudes a feeling of joy, calmness and tranquility. Then, leaves fall and it is winter time…. a time to renew, rethink, rebuild and retool… to prepare for the coming of spring which symbolizes new hope, another chance to life, fresh start… new beginning!

Lots of valuable lessons in life we can learn from trees like… – Patience… taking time to wait for the best outcome; – Strength… weathering the storm, the ability to rise again in every fall; – Self healing… adapting and regenerating; the need to reinvent ourselves to stay relevant in order to survive – Pride… standing tall, to give ourselves a pat on the back, to be proud of what we have accomplished. – Rest… work life balance… to step back and rethink our purpose; taking time to smell the flowers again to appreciate life better. – Freedom… living unbound, to spread its roots and branches; to not be afraid of change; to expand and explore unchartered territories. Let the trees take you to life’s wonderful journey. Enjoy the ride! – Edith C. Santiago (Photos © Copyright)
