embrace your 

imperfections

along with

your

breathtaking

beauty.

Each year I eagerly await the blossoming of my magnolia tree.  

This year, just as the buds began to open, we had frost.  

I was worried that the magnolias wouldn't survive

and I had been so impatiently waiting.

The frost did leave some marks on the petals, 

but, thankfully, she was still full of magnificent pink flowers...

scarred but still beautiful.

Another lesson from nature...

This reminded me of experiences in our lives.

Some have left us with scars, either externally or internally.  

It is up to us whether we focus on the imperfection instead of the beauty.

What will you choose?
