BLOOM WHERE YOU’RE PLANTED

IT’S OCTOBER 16TH AND AT THIS MOMENT I DON’T WANT TO BE ‘PLANTED’ IN EDMONTON. IT’S SNOWING!

BUT THIS IS WHERE I LIVE AND LIKE A SUNFLOWER I WILL TRY TO REACH FOR THE SUN, SHARING MY BEST ‘FACE’ WITH THE WORLD NO MATTER WHAT THE WEATHER. I WILL TRY TO REFLECT LOVELINESS. AND I’LL TRY BE KIND TO THOSE WITH WHOM I SHARE MY SPACE.

AND WHEN IT’S TIME I’LL TRY TO PLANT SEEDS OF HOPE IN MY WORLD THAT IS SOMETIMES DARK AND FEARFUL, SOMETIMES ANGRY AND UGLY TOO. I DON’T HAVE TO MOVE TO DO THIS. I CAN WHISPER PRAYERS INTO THE WIND . I CAN DROP PETALS OF LOVE FOR OTHERS TO PICK UP AND CHERISH. I CAN GROW IN MY FAITH AND STAND TALL IN MY BELIEFS THAT ALL WILL BE WELL SOMEDAY.

AND LIKE A SUNFLOWER I CAN BE BEAUTIFUL.

PEACE.
