You are reading from the book Today's Gift

Spring does not ask an audience, but shapes each blossom perfectly, indifferent to applause.
—Joan Walsh Anglund

In the spring each blossom brings its own shape, color, and fragrance. The lilacs come early to spread their lavender splash. Apple trees burst into white, cherry blossoms into pink, and each weaves its unique and pleasant perfume.

They don't bloom because someone told them to, or because they will receive anything in return. They bloom for the pure joy of blooming. They bloom because that is what they are here to do.

Each one of us blooms in our own time, with our own color and fragrance. Every one of us is a special and important blossom, and we are all part of the tree of life.

How will my day today help me grow?
Keep my committments, and for me, if I cannot make it, then I phone to postpone or cancel. Respecting others, I am NOT the only one. I feel like being late, I am disrespectful. One of my pet peeves because of this is going to my doctors and waiting an hour to get into see him. It took a little more work on the issue, when I went in and it said if you were 10 min. late for your appointment, it would be cancelled and you would have to rebook.

When I look at where I was and where I am in today, I see growth. That does not mean that I do not have to pull some weeds, add a little fertizer, and nurture myself, by giving my body, mind, and spirit the food it needs and a little watering, to get rid of the old to make room for the new.
