Growth

Spring is a great time.  A time of renewal, of change and of hope.  It's spiritual, beautiful, and exciting.  Unfortunately change can also be something that's stressful, painful and distinctly slow.  So, I find myself asking, how can I "grow" more quickly? 

Taking advice from plants, it's patience, sunlight, and keep breathing.  But then again, one bad freeze and a lot of them don't make it either.  So maybe it's self-care, protection, and nutrients, but nutrient rich soil will do nothing for a plant without water.  It becomes a combination of things, and maybe that's why growth is hard.  If we could pinpoint just one thing to make it easier, it would be easy, but it's not.

Acceptance, flowing, patience, hope, nutrition, water, sun, and a little help, and perhaps we can all bloom this year.

To bloom, we should understand what it is that makes us special.  A challenge, that's we've been given before, but can always re-address, to discover our passion.  If hope springs eternal, and spring is the season of hope, let's refocus on what we want to become - plant our seed today.

Tomorrow, I want to share a beautiful poem I found.  :)
