BLESSINGS AND LESSONS

To my delight, the world surrounding me this morning is white.  Even the tree branches are dancing in the wind.  If I was young, I'd bundle up and go for a snow walk.  There's nothing in the world like being the first one to leave footprints in the pristine blanket of white.  Age deters me from playful ventures, cuz I dare not risk falling and breaking one of my branches.

This last week I've been watching movies, one after the other.  Mostly rom-coms and mysteries.  A dialogue by one of the actresses playing the part of an earth-angel ended with, "Everything that happens to us is either a blessing or a lesson." 

Blessings bring us happiness and benefit our lives.  We see them as gifts from a Higher Power.  Lessons learned prevent us from repeating our mistakes.  The most precious life lessons can only be learned the hard way.
