March has been a time of preparation, of waiting, a time of Lent. It has been a time of self-examination (not a pleasant endeavour) & a time of mindful charity (to give in ways which are often uncomfortable). It was a time of growing pains (sigh! even at 50!), of the realisation that one can have a great deal more patience & compassion (sobering).
Here are some images captured in the Singapore Botanic Gardens which reflect some of what has transpired this month as we celebrate the Risen Christ today. Blessed Easter, Friends!

Ahhh yes, I’m most familiar with growing pains at all ages. I’m considerably older than you and I’m still humbled on a regular basis by those sometimes painful “aha” moments.
Happy Easter – a time to celebrate rebirth and new beginnings 💕

Self-reflection is always painful, but I find so necessary. I like the idea of our (hopefully) continually maturing no matter what age we are.
