Tonight I enjoyed seeing beautiful pictures of a friend's garden. Greens, flowers, frogs, and one picture of the mess that happened getting there. Empty dirt bags, pots, gloves, and other messy stuff that helped create the beauty. Going through counseling I experienced dark, ugly, frightening, and yucky stuff. Garbage that makes it hard for me to sleep. I remind myself that I have to get messy before the beautiful things come. I need to dig out the weeds. Add in some mulch. Toss out the garbage. Therapy gets messy before it gets beautiful. A lot of things get really messy but beautiful things can come of it if we keep working at them.

I like this concept!
You should see my sewing room when I'm in the midst of creating a new costume for my DD! The finished product is great, then I tidy up and mess it up again for the next project. (My idea of fun!)
Love P/M
Beautiful picture :) I like the gardening analogy, especially because I like to garden.
I hope you are right!
P/M your observation about sewing is so true. Messy happens and then the good stuff. Hugs, Ruth
Thanks Sandy.
Candycan, I am seeing a difference in my life. Where I am today compared to 10 years ago is absolutely amazing. I still have a lot to learn but I am more at peace than I have ever been.
Gosh Ruth, if "messy" signals something lovely yet to come, I'm in for a beautiful future!! ha!
Thank you for the positive hope---and the gorgeous picture!
