Fun With Words

So, I woke up this morning and realized that I didn’t have anything for today 🙁

It’s been a really busy weekend for me, but that’s no excuse… anyway, I pulled up some pictures from the past and found these butterflies – and going with it! There has been so much change lately, it seems appropriate!

Hope you enjoy!

How did butterflies get there names? no one knows for sure exactly how butterflies got their name… one theory is, a long time ago, butterflies were thought to be witches and would steal milk and butter. Our English word for butterfly comes from the Old English word “buterfleoge”.

many cultures associate the butterfly with our souls… In Christianity, the butterfly is seen a symbol of resurrection; represents endurance, change, ope and life around the world. They also represent transformation, joy, lightness, transition, grace, and eloquence

• blue butterflies grant wishes and make dreams come true

The butterfly effect: “in chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state” (wikipedia)

“Butterflies can’t see their wings. They can’t see how truly beautiful they are, but everyone else can. People are like that too.” ~ unknown
