Flowers

You would think that at 43 I would have things figured out by now.

...Not true at all!...

I love to plant flowers in my yard. It is so relaxing to just go on auto pilot for a while and dig in the dirt. I use to love to play in the dirt when I was little, so maybe this is a left over thing for me.

---Anyway---

I have some flowers that seem to pop up out of the dirt overnight, and then there are some that take their time. It's almost like they have to peek out and see what's around them before they come on out. The ones that grow so fast seem to say,

"Here I come world. Look out!".

I find myself in situations where I am like my flowers. Some days I'm peeking around to see what might be out there in the world, and some days I jump up and face life head on.

What makes us like that I wonder. Why is it that some days I feel so prepared to face life, and some days I just want to curl up under the covers.

Hmmm.....

What kind of day are you having today?

What can you do to change it if it's a hide under the cover kind of day?

TOTALLY changing the subject...

I met a student yesterday that lived on Jot-Em-Down Rd. That made me smile, and I thought it might do the same for you!
