I saw my first poppy of the year by the side of the road today. There is something about the poppy that always makes me feel optimisitc. The poppy springs up by the sides of our roads and brightens up our journey and our day. Seeing a beautiful poppy, so bright yet ephemeral reminds me of the need to practice gratitude and so I wrote this simple little prayer. Allow the poppy to remind you how strong, beautiful and courageous you are. You are able to ride through all of life's ups and downs and there is always something to feel grateful for at the end of everyday. Today I am grateful to that simple little poppy reminding me that hope, abundance and love are all around me. Mother nature is beautiful and abundant and it is all around for everyone to enjoy, so do enjoy, look for your poppy.
Many blessings to you all, AstarteAlison
