Nothing Ageless

Image
  What was routine is now sacred            However, even the most precious parts of your life must adapt to the changing circumstances, requiring you to leave behind what was once immutable and vital. Your lack of attachment to those things you cherish stands as a shining example for your peers. Nevertheless, there’s no reason to be casual about whatever is fading into the past. Carefully consider each decision. Responsible authority is your middle name. You are the clock that others set their watches to when they want to be right.    #MonringWalk #MorningMusings #DailyRitual #GreenThumb #Gardening  #DailyMuse #LightsAndShadows #Greens #Floral #Scenery #Garden #Palette #Woods #Serenity #MeTime #Gardener #allkindsofnature #ColorScheme #Serendipity #GreenFingers #EmotionalUniverse #AloneTime #Nature #Motivational #Uplifting #Topherculitis #LiveSpherically
