Bloom Where You're Planted

I found this periwinkle growing in a sidewalk crack a couple of blocks from my house. I'm tempted to start a new blog just so I can incorporate this photo as a metaphor for...something...

Photo - Perwinkle in sidewalk

The flower has obviously been there a while, but I just noticed it even though it's on my regular dog-walking route, and I pass it twice a day almost every day. The reason for my lack of perception? It's on the other side of the road. The lesson? As with much in life, whole new worlds open up when we take the time to do something as simple as crossing the street.

Hmm. I wonder if it might be a metaphor for a Texas blogger who, just a month or two ago, was going to give up blogging.

Well, maybe not exactly, but it's kinda close. :)

Victor, perhaps you're right...but in a different way than you're thinking. It was the bloggers and readers who took the time to "cross the street" and give me encouragement that gave me new energy to keep on!

Thanks for dropping by!
