The first promise of what was to come on my New Dawn climbing rose. The plant was covered with buds and I anticipated a beautiful show. A week later there was a beauty to the entire space being filled with pale pink roses – but it couldn’t compete with this one individual blossom. Are we the same? Does our unique beauty diminish when we become one of a crowd? So often I want to blend in with others, to be a part of a crowd so I don’t stand out. Maybe it is time to bloom – to let my innate beauty show.

Beautiful rose and sentiments. I say you should bloom, stand out, and be the beautiful you that you are. Enjoy the day! 🙂

Thanks for your sweet encouragement. Isn’t it wonderful that we can continue to find ourselves as we age. I’m still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up.

It is all part of the adventure. Every passing year I feel more at ease with me and less concerned with the judgement of others. It took a while for me to find out what I wanted to do, too, and then I went and changed it, again. LoL. 🙂
