i was thinking about a conversation i had with my sweet friend joanne, about flowers. which in turn made me think about my dear friends i have in my life. each one of you are like the perennial flowers i have planted in my gardens. you are there for me year after year. you are a constant and i don't have to worry about you not returning the next year. you are brilliant and beautiful and bursting forth with the tenderness of a newborn. the one i chose to delete from my life this year, must have been an annual. there will be no returning next year, or any year. that flower had thorns that hurt me. i didn't need that.
flowers, like friends need nurturing and care. some flowers are newer than others in my garden, as are my friends. but i care deeply for each of you as if you have been planted there for decades.
what is planted in your garden? xo
