I am one for drawing life lessons straight from nature, as they illustrate some of the most basic principles for us to understand. Prior to spring, this array of wealth is held dormant in secret, but then, at the precise moment, splendor erupts and life comes bursting through every living cell, in its time, in its place, with beauty and grace adorning the earth in regal elegance.
And so it is with each individual. We too, have a beauty deep inside, waiting in anticipation for the proper time to be on "display" for others; a chance to be a blessing to those around us. All of creation works this way. Our lives are full of new beginnings, cultivated and nurtured in secret, and in their due season, they come alive giving us a new hope. This pattern of the seasons is essential in our lives. It rejuvenates us and provides us with reasons to grow and develop. Without hope, we are empty.
I am honored to be called a co-creator with the Creator of the universe. Yes, He has deposited into each of us a portion of Himself that allows us to be creative and explode with individuality. Where is your avenue of creativity? Do you grow a beautiful garden or write encouraging words? Are you an artist in the kitchen? Is your home a sanctuary for all who enter? Do you make the most of every moment with a contagious energy? Can you take the ordinary and make it special? Can you take the usual and make it unusual? Do you have an endless drive to accomplish and succeed?
It's just a fact. Everyone has an expression of who they are; i-art is what I call it. Go up and down your list of friends and acquaintances. I bet there is someone who has mastered the art of good conversation, careful planning, or thoughtful giving. Everything we encounter has someone's signature on it!
Today is a blank canvas waiting for the colors of our world to splatter all over it as a signature of our gifts, talents, and personality. The freedom to own your individuality is a priceless gift. And the chance to reveal it is even better!
Every day greets us with a welcome invitation to spend our time and energy on becoming the person we were created to be, to reach our full potential with the help of trials and joys, heartaches and victories, disappointments and celebrations. Today holds an anticipation that can motivate you to utilize the minutes and seconds that are yours, knowing that today can never be repeated again.

You should created doubles spaces between your paragraphs for easier reading. When I come across entries that are one long line of words, I groan. Look at other entries and see how pleasant is the appearance when paragraphs are broken up.
You have great use of words, but try to open them up so others want to read them!
