Growing Pains

Every blade of grass has its angel that bends over it and whispers, “grow, grow.” – The Talmud.

I want things to bloom. I am ready for Spring, really.  Who doesn’t want a fresh start?  For growth?  I want to grow, to change, to be a better person, wife, mother, friend, and employee.  I want to have help from others.  To be encouraged.

But…I don’t like change, or do I?  I like new adventures.  I like to try new recipes, to visit new restaurants, or places.  I like to change when it is my choice.  Not someone else’s timeline or decision.  But I also think we are all like that.  Change is fine if I want it, but not if you are wanting the change and it bothers or affects me.

Bloom.  Grow.  Both involve change.  And we have nothing to do with it.

Blessings.
