Doodling

I find myself doodling quite a bit these days. One thing that I find myself doodling over and over, even if it is in the air, is a butterfly. I collect penguins and ladybugs...why don't I doodle them? Sure, I could doodle these, too...but I tend to doodle butterflies more than anything and quite a few flowers. I got to wondering what this might mean about me, so I looked it up! I found an interesting article here and learned that my flowers may indicate a gentle personality, a love of nature, and sometimes childlike innocence. This website had some more insight with similar indications, but I liked it because it says that flowers are doodled by social workers quite a bit...and...well....I AM a social worker! And yet another more extensive link has even more analysis of doodles!

I looked for butterfly doodles and really didn't find much, so I had to analyze myself. The butterfly is a symbol of healing and growth. If a caterpillar wasn't allowed to grow and push through the cocoon on its own, it never would be able to fly. That represents me and what I believe...God allows adversity to build our strength...knowing that we will one day be able to fly. If he were to step in and cut open the cocoon, our bodies would swell and our wings would shrivel. He desires for us to fly...and that is what I desire for myself and for others. Although it is so difficult, we learn just how strong we are and how far we can go and how we can fly.
