Rejoice Because Thorns Have Roses

“We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses.”
⠀⠀
I’m reminded of this quote I once saw on the side of a building in Cape Town every time my rose bushes start to bloom.
⠀⠀
It’s an important perspective to consider, especially today when so many things feel as prickly and painful and frustrating as thorns.
⠀⠀
All of those thorns are balanced and softened by the presence and existence of the beautiful blooms.

How can you find a way to reframe the thorns in your life right now? ​
