Simple.




I love flowers. It reminds me how much delight and happiness can come from one simple thing. Also how much adversity they have to overcome in order to bloom, dirt, weather, animals, etc. Ever since my mom explained to me as a kid how bulbs work, I have appreciated the work the flowers have to go through to become something for us to enjoy. I feel like their struggle can be applied to our lives. We work hard to strive and overcome, then we can enjoy the fruits of our labors, the beautiful flower. And the process starts over again. I am grateful for trials, because I know that once things get better, life will be beautiful again.
