Roses

I love roses. My favorite rose is the tea rose. The other roses are pretty, but to me the most beautiful is the tea rose. Last year, I planted two rose bushes. it was late in the spring and we did not have the irrigation system installed until late spring. Only one of my bushes survived.

This spring, I planted four more bushes. Each bush is a different color. I can hardly wait til they start blooming........Oh, yeah......they have to grow first.

Sometimes I get impatient with myself just like I get impatient for the flowers to bloom. I know that for the flowers to bloom, they need the correct soil conditions, the right amount of water and sun, and the right amount of fertilizer. They have to be nurtured and cared for. I need to ask myself...."I am I giving myself enough of what I need??" How can I expect myself to grow and thrive if I am not taking care of my own needs?

What areas of my life are lacking nurture: physical, emotional, social, financial, or spiritual?? What can I do to begin to meet my own needs? What about you? What are you missing to have an abundant fulfilling life? Take time to think about the answers to these questions. You deserve an abundant live.
