Week Two - The Word!!!!

GROWTH!


Growth....to open up, reach for the heavens, embrace life.

I think looking back that as teenagers/young adults we think we are really living, growing and enjoying life. And we do to a degree....but now....I can see I lived in the moment, which I think stunted my true growth.



As in the picture, this succulent plant will grow tall, but you can see the bends and angles that it made trying to grow straight.  To me that represents a lot of us in our early years.

 The straight and flowering top is us now in our somewhat pregolden years. We made it through the kids, and now our reward is not only grand kids, but a new opening up and blooming as we start on a new path.

 So this year, I want to grow!  With our kids gone, I would like to grow my relationship with my husband, back to that giddy love we had before kids...:-)  I would like to grow my relationship with my Lord, get back to my quiet times and bible reading. I would like to grow my jewelry/crochet business to not only bring in a bit of money, but because I love doing it.

I am excited to see what this year will bring and if by the end I am flowering!

PS. These plants are in my yard......They grow at the drop of a hat!
