Anyone with children would understand self healing and emotional circles. There are times when you feel helpless in trying to do what is best, but even your best isn't bringing about great results. Looking at these bougainvillea images, I thought of how much they correlate to the different emotions I go through with one of my children.



"There are times when you left me speechless and helpless, and I feel so alone. Like this, I want to just give you up and fade away. There is nothing more I can do for you."

"There are times when I know even those thorns can be weaken by love and faith."

"There are times when your presence speaks tenderness. Encouraged by your efforts, I strive to find answers for us. With little signs of softness and comfort you gave me hope."

"There are times when you are flourishing, maturing, learning and the best that you can be. I am grateful and satisfy by your progress. I too will flourish and thrive along with you. And that day, everything is colorful and beautiful that's when I know I am healing."
