Planting life!

"Some people think that as soon as you plant a tree, it must bear fruit. We must allow it to grow a bit."
Prince Tunku putta Abdul Rahman (b. 1903) - Malaysian political leader

I read this this morning looking for something to put on the kitchen chalkboard. I always looks for something that strikes me and hits home with how I'm feeling or where I'm at. I don't recall ever seeing this one before and it was right on the money.

As the sun starts to come up today and I'm yet again NOT leaving early for work because I'm dilly dallying around per usual, I think yet again the tranquil easy start of the morning has served it's purpose. All the kitchen dishes are clean (yep washed them , dishwasher still leaking), I had some good oatmeal (it was quick oats I accidentally bought AGAIN!), I made a good looking salad for lunch, and I checked in on news, bank, and emails. Now time to really get rolling but it's already been a good start. All that's left is shower and THE BUS!

Oh, the chalkboard.... I sure hope I've been planting trees the past few years. I sure feel like it tho I never really looked at it like that. I've been looking for fruit when maybe the most important thing right now is that all I'm sowing really just needs to show signs of life, being green and growing. The fruits going to come! If you're one of my trees or hey, if I'm one - keep growing, keep knowing that I'm weeding around you, fertilizing you, hoping the sun shines on you, and yeah if it seems I'm throwing chicken manure sometimes, it's fertilizer! Growth comes in many forms not just when the apple ripens. (I needed to know that this morning!) ... sunny and 70 today. GROW!
