Never accept less than butterflies.....

Peacock butterfly
The weather has been lovely this past week and there seems to be an explosion of butterflies :) There are many inspirational stories, myths and legends on the internet that you can look up for yourselves, but the one that I like is 'Never accept anything less than butterflies'....This phrase has many interpretations.
The feeling you get when you meet someone that makes you feel euphoric, or causes the 'butterflies in your stomach' feeling when you think of him/her.
The advice is to not “settle” for a partner in a relationship that doesn’t have this effect on you, and was popularized by the character Carrie Bradshaw on the series 'Sex and the City'.
Like the butterfly, we are all on a journey. On this journey we encounter endless turns, shifts, and conditions that cause us to metamorphasize. All change is good - even if it may not seem so at the time. Change is what life is made of and it is necessary to grow and learn. At our journey's end we are inevitably transformed - not at all the same as when we started on the path. I like this one....................
It reminds me of the journey I am heading on. After 6 months of illness where I have been unable to do very much I am now feeling 99% better and ready to get up and go again :) I have had a long time to think and re-evaulate my secrets hopes and dreams.....some changes are necessary and some of my comfort zone will be put to the test. Dreams can just stay dreams, but I know they can be reality if I reach hard for them. Only I can do that. Watch this space.....
A cake and a cuppa are ready to enjoy while I write my list ....Hugs 4 smiles M x

It also has a rather simple meaning - butterflies are bright and beautiful creatures so don't settle for anything but the best and brightest.


Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down

  1. Overheard on a TV drama this week - "If things didn't change, we wouldn't have butterflies" must be something in the air....
