Saved just in time!

As I sit here and type this I am looking out onto my deck.....and at my "money tree" bloomin away....and what strikes me about that is two things.....one being I did not seek to purchase a "money" tree......I had picked it up at Lowes because I felt it would vibe in my kitchen.....I pick every, and all flowers or plants based on decorating potential lol:) And when I got to the register the woman said "Oh this is a money tree!".....and then I wondered if it was bad luck to buy it for myself lol;-) Not the thing you are supposed to do....but since I did so without knowing it was a money tree, I decided it was fair game and to bring it home....and it looked amazing right where I placed it.....However after some time the leaves at the top became brown.....brittle.....dying....and I could tell it was dying.....so.......I moved it.....placing it in the center of my table on my deck.....and soon signs of life emerged......new sprouts....healthy green shoots, and it clearly LOVES it there.....THRIVING......and growing healthy sprouts daily......In fact all my flowers on my deck have acclimated to the endless rain....blooming right where they are planted.....and to me it serves as a reminder to myself and humans in general....that if we begin to wilt and no longer thrive.....we should MOVE.....go to where we can do just that.....seek to bloom and thrive, not shrivel and wilt......and I had a sign years ago that said "bloom where you are planted".....and that is so true.....the idea is not to wilt.....but I had begun wilting once upon a time....not realizing that I was.....walking placidly into aging and feeling like garbage..... feeling old....maybe even frumpy some....just not like me.....and not knowing how to stop it, or fix it....or maybe even that I needed to......succumbing is maybe the best word.....and it is hard to imagine now....feeling the way I do these days, and I definitely wasn't blooming where I was planted then that was true.....I had tried for a long time, but the conditions were such that blooming was not possible....too much, or too little water, and not enough sun.....definitely not enough sun......and I could no longer find the place where the light got in....too much darkness......and when we find ourselves suffocating like that, we have an obligation to move....just like I moved my tree.....offering it an opportunity to grow and thrive in the ways it wanted to.....not allowing it to wither and die.....and if you really think about that it is so true for humans....our environment matters SO MUCH......as a teacher I see it so often too.....the conditions for humans dictating the quality of their lives and journey.....so if this speaks to you this morning.....ask yourself, are you blooming where you are planted?? Thriving.....in FULL bloom:) I hope you are:) And if not I hope you change the conditions to begin to bloom again:) Have a great day:)
