Growing

All my life I have tried to pluck a thistle and plant a flower

wherever the flower would grow in thought and mind.

Abraham Lincoln

We have opportunities to grow, planting flowers while removing thistles from our lives, growing in positive ways through counselling and other means.

This are flowers that are just starting to hatch…this flower pot has a place of prime real estate right in the middle of the table in the middle of household action. It’s dark outside, but blooming bright right here. Lots to do this week, but its a wonderful pause to take a deep breath, and look at this beauty. She gives me such immediate excitement, as she is different in the morning from the night before, and different again when I come home from work. And she is going to be bright red with blooms, just like the box said.

Inspires me to be a flower bloomer and a thistle puller in my world today.
