The saying, "Bloom where you are planted," is a favorite of mine. It is a daily goal for me.
The goal is to do more than merely survive from one day to the next. To bloom is to thrive in whatever circumstances you find yourself in. It is to be better, try harder, continue to always grow. It is to flourish.
In addition to being a goal, this is often my prayer. It is a prayer for help in getting through a difficult day with a sense of humor, for remembering to revel in holding a child close without thinking about dishes that need to be washed, for realizing that too soon I will miss these days when my children were small.
I hope you are blooming wherever you are these days.

Thanks, Christy. I needed that reminder.
I always admired that piece when it was in your cube at work. Good message and really pretty:)
What a wonderful statement and blog entry. That is one that I need to remember. There are days when the stress of life, children, finances are ready to take over. This is what I should remember.
Thank you,
I'm glad this struck a chord with all of you. I'll add you guys to my daily "Bloom" prayer so we can all keep living and growing in the moment.
