Isn’t this gorgeous?! A satiny, delicate pink rose atop a stem that seems almost too narrow to support this expanding beautiful blossom sitting on my kitchen window sill. I am grateful that it is once again blooming for me and its companion should be fully opening soon. The plant came close to withering away and dying soon after I got it, but I have been nurturing it, like a friendship, hoping that it would thrive beside my mostly sunny window.
I am also choosing to see this lovely bloom as a sign of hope, as a sign that I should never give up on my dreams. If dreams are nurtured, not neglected so that eventually they wither away, maybe they really can come true. – Maria
