On our journey, we all have to face challenges. What we make of these experiences is up to us. We can just face them, and go on, or we can learn from them.

I had my share of challenges. But when I think about them, I realise that they are the reason I am the one I am now. They helped me grow, they helped me understand who I was at the time. I know I will have to face many other challenges and I know I will go on growing thanks to them.

This simple thought helps me take each day as it comes. I am not scared, I am not anxious. I just welcome what may come. I know I will learn something. I know I will grow. It will change my view on some little thing or it will change my whole self. If I can’t change the fact that I will have to go through hard times or experiences, at least I can decide to grow from them. And I am happy and grateful to be able to live this journey.

So here is your challenge:

---

One card a week 35

Quote: « Grow through what you go through. »

Pattern: dark drops

---

Here are the rules of the challenge:

• Each thursday, I’ll give you a quote and a pattern to play with. You can use both, you can use only one of them, it’s up to you.
• You have till the next wednesday to make your card and share it with us in the facebook group (just ask to be added, and I will open the doors wide open to you )
• The goal of this challenge it just to offer yourself a time to have fun with pens and cards, to ponder on words, to enjoy a ME time. We tend to forget about ourselves so easily! And sharing is such a beautiful thing to experiment in our life!
