Comforting Hearts

Nobody doesn't like cherry blossom seasons. The pink world is like an angel delivering warmth and good healing medicine. No wonder the pink scene can be seen all over the world. Everyone has a secret garden that soothes their own heart, and therefore, I sew my pink world with my warm hands to relieve worries, decrease anxiety and calm me down.

Disasters occur in 2018 worldwide are destroying nature rapidly. No matter they are man-made or natural phenomena, they ruthlessly make Earth’s long-lasting wonders disappear. Is this also an evolution? Or does it owe to human’s “innovation”? Once it's gone, it's gone forever. And we are experiencing the process together.

We should be aware of the pressures that we have to bear and find the strength and courage to face it. Before solving the problems, find yourself a way to heal your mind and accept the challenge. I have found a soothing method that comforts my heart and makes me feel relaxed, that is, the pink cherry blossom season. Thank you for the prompt, Lisa-Marie.
