Growing.  Like a plant.

Growing.  Like a plant.  Toward sunlight even though at times it’s blinding. 

Growing.  Like a plant.  Through dirt that is messy and muddy and frustrating when I can’t break through.

Growing.  Like a plant.  From roots that were given and toward the surface of the soil where I know I can be and where I belong.  But it takes work.

Growing.  Like a plant.  Having to remember that it is a day by day process and not an overnight sensation where all is recognized, rewarded and accomplished at once.

Growing.  Like a plant.

Go and grow today, tomorrow and the day after.
